Ukrainian Center T9

Physical Event


We are pleased to offer a unique opportunity to visit a local NGO and engage in a creative workshop focused on traditional Ukrainian craftsmanship – the Motanka Doll.

This hands-on session provides a meaningful way to explore cultural heritage, disconnect from routine work, and engage in a creative, reflective activity. Participants will create their own Motanka doll, traditionally considered a symbolic handmade object.

Programme includes:

  • Brief NGO visit
  • Motanka Doll Workshop

Participants will learn about the history and techniques behind this traditional craft and create their own doll.
