The Ukrainian community in Croatia is offering language and cultural programs to help displaced children maintain ties to their heritage while integrating into local schools.

The Ukrainian community in Croatia is prioritizing language education and cultural preservation for displaced families who fled the ongoing war in their homeland. One of the primary initiatives led by local Ukrainian organizations involves teaching the Ukrainian language to children currently enrolled in Croatian schools. While young refugees have adapted to their new environment, integrated into local educational systems, and learned Croatian, community leaders emphasize the importance of maintaining ties to their ethnic roots. These educational and cultural programs aim to safeguard Ukrainian traditions, language, and customs for families living far from home.
