This year, on May 21, Ukraine marks the Day of International Unity and Cultural Diversity for the first time. Our library is actively involved in the city intercultural project “Mykolaiv. We are different. We are together!”, organized for this event by the Department of Culture and Cultural Heritage Protection of the Mykolaiv City Council.
On this occasion, we have a thematic book gift from the PEN Ukraine club. The gift was Olesia Iaremchuk's informative book "Our Others. Stories of Ukrainian Diversity."
In reality, we know very little about the nationalities of Ukraine, about those who live next to us, Ukrainians. Armenians, Bulgarians, Germans, Meskhetian Turks, Jews, Romanians, Czechs, Swedes. Ukraine is the native home for dozens of nationalities, and each adds color and fullness to it.
Olesia Iaremchuk (@Olesya Yaremchuk (Kosyura) has made a lot of effort, traveling to many settlements, from bustling cities in Donbas and Bukovina to quiet villages in Bessarabia and Transcarpathia, to document how national minorities live today and what memory they preserve of their past.
The book contains fourteen touching and informative stories of people and nationalities that make up the Ukrainian community. An incredible addition are the photographs that make the book come alive.
Dear PEN Ukraine, you are always at your best, your gift is to our taste and well as for our readers, thank you very much!
So we invite everyone who wants to visit the library and get acquainted with the book gift.
