Ukrainian educators in Czechia report that young children who emigrated after the full-scale invasion are beginning to forget their native language and culture. To address this, the Pylyp Orlyk Foundation initiated the "Roots and Wings" program. Over the past year, 13 teachers instructed 100 children in Ukrainian language, history, culture, and literature. The program aims to help these children maintain their Ukrainian identity, ensuring their heritage is preserved. As one educator stated, "We want them to know our history." This initiative seeks to provide a comprehensive cultural education beyond standard school subjects. Sources: Радіо Свобода
