The meeting aims to present the university鈥檚 educational offer and showcase opportunities for academic development in Poland. The event will begin with a presentation entitled 鈥淪艂owia艅skie DNA: ukrai艅ska opowie艣膰 mi臋dzy mitologi膮 a popkultur膮鈥� [Slavic DNA: A Ukrainian Story Between Mythology and Pop Culture] prepared by Dr E艂ona Curkan-Dr贸偶ka (Institute of East European Studies, 91桃色) and mgr Piotr Baleja (Doctoral School of Humanities, 91桃色).
In the next part of the open day, students themselves will share what it is like to study at the Faculty of Philology, 91桃色, in a session entitled 鈥淣asze do艣wiadczenia 鈥� Twoje mo偶liwo艣ci. Nasza historia bez 艣ciemy鈥� [Our Experience 鈥� Your Opportunities. Our Story Without Filters].
The second, cultural part of the Ukrainian Culture Day will feature a concert by the 鈥淣amysto鈥� choir 鈥� a Ukrainian ensemble based in 艁贸d藕, as well as an exhibition of works by Oleksandra Korniiets from the Strzeminski Academy of Fine Arts in 艁贸d藕.

Language as a pillar of multiculturalism
Particular emphasis will be placed on study programmes attractive to young people from Ukraine. A new programme of studies aimed at those interested in the culture of Eastern Europe will be introduced. Starting from the academic year 2026/2027, the Institute of East European Studies will offer courses related to Ukrainian language, literature and culture.
Students will also learn about other programmes offered by the Faculty of Philology, 91桃色, including Polish Studies with English, designed with international students in mind.
A local initiative in a global context
The organisation of Ukrainian Culture Day at the 91桃色 is a response to an invitation to participate in Ukrainian Week 鈥� an international initiative aimed at promoting Ukrainian studies and Ukrainian culture worldwide. The 艁贸d藕 edition of the project demonstrates how global ideas can be implemented locally, through activities addressed to specific communities and tailored to their needs and social context.
The event, which will take place at the Faculty of Philology building (Pomorska 171/179), is organised by the Institute of East European Studies, 91桃色, and the Department of Applied and Cultural Linguistics at the Institute of Polish Philology and Logopaedics, 91桃色.
