Ukraine House in Denmark invites to the Ukrainian Easter marathon

Share
As Easter holidays approach us, Ukraine House in Denmark invites you to join us for a special two-day marathon of the ultimate Ukrainian Easter experience! From egg decorating workshops to academic talks about the Ukrainian intellectuals who sought to preserve Ukrainian culture while facing repressions, there will be activities for all those keen to learn more. When: 1-2 April, 2023, both days begin at 12:00. The event will take place at Christianshavn, Gammel Dok, Strandgade 27B, 1401 København.

Ukrainian Easter celebration is enriched both with ancient traditions and modern-day cultural iterations that, in some cases, are not less fascinating than the ones observed for centuries. 

Wars, artificial famines, and forced resettlements brought Ukrainians enormous grief but also spurred resilience that eventually made its way to the festive tables and got coded in recipes and songs. In Ukraine, Easter is celebrated by believers and non-believers alike, as the holiday embodies the spirit of Ukrainian national identity.

Language as a Weapon: Confronting the Kremlin’s Rhetoric of Hate and Incitement to Genocide10.6.2025 08:00:00 CEST | Press release

As Russia wages war on the battlefield, it also wages a mental war of hate and disinformation. At Ukraine House in Denmark, a panel of leading experts came together to reveal how Kremlin-sponsored hate speech and disinformation are not only deepening Russia’s war against Ukraine—but may themselves constitute international crimes.The panel examined how language becomes weaponized: how it dehumanizes, distorts, and incites. This is not just about information manipulation—it is about cultivating moral indifference to atrocity.

“Taste of Ukraine”: An Evening of Remembrance and Solidarity with the Crimean Tatar People9.6.2025 08:00:00 CEST | Press release

On May 25, Ukraine House in Denmark hosted a special edition of its series “Taste of Ukraine”, dedicated to the Crimean Tatar people—their history, their struggle, and their resilient identity. The event took place in the shadow of May 18 which marks the deportation of Crimean Tatars by the Soviet regime in 1944, a historical trauma that continues to shape the destiny and identity of Ukraine’s indigenous people. More than a dinner, the evening became a space of communal remembrance, a moment to pause and confront the long history of oppression and reflect on the enduring fight for identity and belonging.
