On 17 August 2018, the President of the Ukrainian World Congress (UWC) Eugene Czolij addressed the participants and guests at the First World Forum on Ukrainian Saturday and Sunday School Studies, which began this day in Lviv, Ukraine.
In his address, Eugene Czolij noted that the UWC has the honour of being a co-organizer of this Forum and pointed out that this event represents another stage in a long-lasting process of productive cooperation between the UWC and the Lviv Polytechnic National University, as well as its International Institute of Education, Culture and Diaspora Relations, with which the UWC signed a Memorandum of Cooperation two years ago.
“Ukrainian education is one of the most important factors for preserving the identity of Ukrainians abroad. This is why the Ukrainian World Congress and its International Educational Coordinating Council got involved in this Forum, which will raise the development of Ukrainian Saturday and Sunday schools to a new level”, said UWC President Eugene Czolij.
