Ukraine Next Door

In connection with the recent tragic and heroic events, Ukraine became widely known in the world. However, it is only known for the news that describes the progress of hostilities and their effect on prices in your country. For most people, it still remains a mystery what kind of Ukrainian people they are and what their culture is like.

There are people who are interested in other cultures, architectural landmarks and works of art. If you are such a person, I invite you to learn more about Ukrainian culture. In order to make this acquaintance as comfortable as possible, the government of Ukraine together with Google launched the "Ukraine next door" project.

In order to start getting acquainted with Ukrainian culture, you need to go to the Google Art and Culture website. Use the link I provided, or enter Ukraine in the search. This is how you can easily find the project "Ukraine Next Door" (perhaps it is translated into English in a different way, for me the site is displayed in Ukrainian, for you it will be displayed in your language).

Here it is very convenient and interesting to learn something new for yourself, because the information is structured in a collection. The first thing you will be offered is "A brief introduction to Ukrainian culture". That's just 7 great slides!

Next, you will be offered 4 more ways to get to know Ukraine: learn about 4 UNESCO world heritage sites, about the Ukrainian avant-garde, about national parks and about the spirit of Ukraine.

Then it's even more interesting. Everyone is interested in something specific, some love architecture, some art, some traditions. These are the collections that await you next.

If you are a lover of architecture, stunning 3D images of the most outstanding monuments await you. Below you can find brief information about the property. You can also view the object in augmented reality.

The site allows you to get acquainted with the thousand-year-old traditions of the Ukrainian people, listen to music performed by folk instruments, etc.

And Ukrainian cuisine! I am lucky, I get to know Ukrainian cuisine every day. It's a little harder for you. If you don't know anything about Ukrainian cuisine, correct it as soon as possible. You will definitely like it.

Ukrainian cinema, fashion, rave, literature, theater... it's all here too.

I invite you to visit this wonderful project and discover a new culture and a new people. Who knows, maybe you will find a place for yourself that you will want to visit. After all, the war will not last forever, at least I hope so.

Enjoy learning something new.
