Non-Governmental Organisation «AROUND US. UA»

Our non-governmental organisation was founded in 2020 by a group of like-minded people committed to preserving and promoting the authentic culture of Ukraine. The activities of the “AROUND US. UA” NGO are aimed at preserving the tangible and intangible heritage of Ukraine. In particular, it is dedicated to researching, saving, protecting and mainly disseminating information about the heritage of Ukrainian history and culture without myth-making, imposed clichés and inferior stereotypes.

Nowadays, our activities are focused on the local history and traditions of the Bohuslav territorial community in the Kyiv region. However, we are not limited to it.

We share our results, scientific and creative approaches to addressing the challenges and cover all stages of our work. Anyone interested is welcome to use our experience in practice when implementing projects in their communities.

SUPPORT US

  • Our organisation is a non-profit, and we implement projects funded by grants or on a volunteer basis. We consider our activities to be extremely significant in modern times and circumstances. Only a nation that is aware of its roots and traditions can resist the invader with dignity. There is a shortage of ethnographic and local history research in our region due to the restrictions and suppression that existed in Soviet times. Therefore, our task is to fix it: to discover, preserve, and promote it.

  • If you would like to support us, you are welcome to transfer funds to our account or make a donation by personal arrangement.

  • If you are willing to support us through information dissemination, we would appreciate any assistance in spreading the word about us and our activities.

  • If you have any other ideas, we are always open to cooperation and interaction. Please don’t hesitate to give us a call or drop us a line!
