How to do Ukrainian Crafts
You are what you culture!
Welcome to our culture class site. This site is intended to give you ideas on teaching Ukrainian arts, crafts and culinary arts to young people. Dolyna Ukrainian Cultural Society in Kelowna holds culture classes on the same night we teach Ukrainian dance. We find that these classes add another dimension to learning about Ukrainian traditions and builds spirit and enthusiasm.
Our culture classes are designed for people from 4 years to teens. We find that many adults also enjoy the classes and are eager to share their skills and learn new ones as well. Our projects are designed to be completed within a one hour time period and can be modified in complexity for each age group. Some are traditional Ukrainian arts and recipes. Others have been modified to have a Ukrainian flavour. Please feel free to modify lessons for your own needs. We encourage the use of Ukrainian language as you teach these skills. This site will continue to grow, so come back for another visit!
We offer our sincere thanks to the Shevchenko Foundation for their financial support in developing these programs and putting them on the internet. http://www.shevchenkofoundation.com
