27 червня Український Дім в Данії запрошує на форум-зустріч «Май в серці те, що не згасає» для української молоді, де ми говоритимемо про лідерство та збереження зв’язку з Україною за кордоном.

Цей день стане простором для розмови про те, як молодим українцям у Данії знаходити свою роль, брати на себе відповідальність і долучатися до ініціатив, які підтримують українську ідентичність та водночас відкривають шлях до розбудови українсько-нордичної співпраці.

Разом із молодіжними лідерами та представниками громадських організацій з України і Данії ми говоритимемо про спадщину Богдана Гаврилишина, про те, як виховувати лідерів серед української молоді в Данії, та про можливості партнерства між українськими й данськими молодіжними середовищами.

Форум відкритий для українців віком від 18 років, які хочуть розвиватися та долучатися до спільнот, де лідерство починається з дії.

До зустрічі!

This time, together with the Ukrainian Association of Furniture Manufacturers, the Embassy of Ukraine in Denmark and curators Anait Danielian and Larysa Tsybina, we present a collective exhibition exploring how contemporary Ukrainian design is made today.

The exhibition brings together Ukrainian brands DONNA, BROOX, Studio TIVOLI, Yakush, TheO, ReStyle, kint, Gushka Wool, WOOD MOOD, GUCULIYA, CAPSULE, COLLECTIONS, BARN CODE, AMAZE objects, Woo, Noom, and Shishka Project working across furniture, objects, wallpapers, interiors, and functional art. Some objects begin in large factories and are produced at scale. Others emerge slowly in small workshops, shaped by hand. Between these two worlds of industry and craft Ukrainian designers constantly move, adapting materials, rethinking production, and finding new ways of creating.

This year’s exhibition asks simple questions: Does an object begin with an idea, or with the possibilities of making it? Can something handmade become industrial? And when does design stop being purely functional and become something closer to art?

The exhibition unfolds through three perspectives: industrial design, workshop production, and functional art. They show Ukrainian design as something flexible and alive, and shaped by changing realities and the ability to respond to them.

We look forward to returning to Copenhagen’s biggest design festival and sharing the objects and stories behind contemporary Ukrainian design.

On Denmark’s Constitutional Day, Ukraine House in Denmark and Udsyn & Indsigt invite you to a conversation on patriotism and capitalism through Danish and Ukrainian experiences. For the second year in a row, we come together around June 5 to reflect on questions that feel increasingly relevant across Europe.

The evening will include perspectives on patriotism in Danish business history – from J.C. Jacobsen to the Mærsk family – presented by Martin Jes Iversen, Academic Director at CBS and MPA Professor in Maritime Business (SMU), alongside reflections from Nataliia Popovych, Chairperson of Ukraine House and entrepreneur, on the role of Ukrainian business before and during wartime. The discussion will explore how companies respond when societies face a crisis, and whether patriotism changes the responsibilities of capital.

The programme also includes a discussion and an audience exchange moderated by Tenna Lundum Iversen, a Chairperson of Udsyn & Indsigt.

📅 Friday, June 5
🕡 18:30-21:00
📍 Ukraine House in Denmark, Strandgade 27B, Copenhagen

We look forward to an evening of conversation on business and the choices societies make in uncertain times.

On June 2, we invite you to a book reception celebrating the Ukrainian translation and a discussion on why this Danish work matters today. At a time when questions of democratic resilience and civic responsibility have become increasingly urgent across Europe, the translation opens Hal Koch’s ideas to Ukrainian readers and creates space for a broader conversation between Danish and Ukrainian experiences.

The evening, moderated by Nataliia Popovych, will unfold in two parts. The first will focus on the motivation behind the translation project and the continued relevance of Hal Koch’s thinking. The second will reflect on democracy in contemporary Ukraine and what democratic culture means during war.

The discussion brings together Mathias Parsbæk Skibdal (DIPD), former Danish minister Eva Kjer Hansen, Jonas Parello-Plesner (Alliance of Democracies), Julia Tymoshenko from Ukraïner (online), translator Xenia Frost Fitisova, and special guest Lars Koch, grandson of Hal Koch, who will share reflections on his grandfather’s legacy and the significance of bringing the book to Ukrainian audiences today.

After the conversation, there will be time for audience questions and informal discussion.

The films were made in Lupareve, Vysunsk, and Pavlivka by children aged 10 to 14, who became the writers, camera operators, actors, and directors of their own stories.

In “Beauty”, filmed in Pavlivka, children walk through fields, estuaries, and village roads while reflecting on what beauty means to them. One girl says simply: “Beauty is something within people.” In “What the Ground Looks Like from the Sky”, girls from Lupareve talk about the superpowers they dream of having. One of them wishes she could fly, just to finally see how the earth looks from above, the way birds do. “Friendship and a One Hundred Hryvnia” tells the story of two boys searching for lost money – a small childhood adventure that slowly turns into a film about friendship and memories.

The films were created during the Blyshchyk creativity festivals organized by Behind Blue Eyes, a Ukrainian nonprofit organisation that has worked with children in frontline communities since 2022 through creative workshops and artistic projects. The team helps these kids discover and develop their talents, dream big, and believe in their own potential.

After the screening, the Behind Blue Eyes team will speak about the project and about what creativity can give children growing up during war. We will be joined by Natalia Sosnytska, Director of the organization, and Hanna Berezhna, Operations Manager. The evening will end with a Q&A.

We would be very happy to share these tender stories with you!

This edition is a new culinary collaboration with Ukrainian chef and pastry artist Olha Borsh, known in Denmark for her award-winning desserts and her passion for Ukrainian regional cuisine. She has created a menu that travels across Ukraine through seasonal dishes and local traditions and we will have a rare opportunity to taste it together.

The menu begins in Kherson with a tomato-inspired amuse-bouche reflecting the region’s rich summer harvests. From there, we move to Odesa where we have a coastal version of Ukrainian borscht served with fresh pampushky from Maison D’brød, led by four-time best pastry chef in Denjiv Giri. The Carpathians arrive through banosh with chicken and mushrooms – a dish connected to mountain life and summer shepherd traditions. The evening ends with a light honey cake inspired by the first honey harvests in Poltava.

Each dish is tied to a different landscape and part of Ukrainian summer culture.

The film reveals how, with around 1.6 million children living under occupation, access to Ukrainian education is cut off, Russian curricula are imposed, and children are drawn into paramilitary youth structures preparing them for military service.

Through testimonies and verified evidence, the investigation shows how militarization is enforced through pressure and fear,  including threats of separation from families. The documentary follows families forced to flee to protect their children, and teenagers sent to military training camps under false promises, uncovering a broader system that turns education and childhood into tools of war.

“There were moments when I lost consciousness. It happened three times. [Russian military trainers] brought ammonia, I sniffed it, got up, and ran on with the rifle,” recalls one of the children featured in the film.

As author of the documentary Olesia Bida notes, this is a policy designed to leave children with no choice but to join Russia’s army, normalizing war and reshaping identity from an early age.

While the Ukrainian diaspora continues to support the country through advocacy and fundraising, many Ukrainians abroad are also building new lives outside Ukraine. How do we think about recovery under these conditions, and what role can diaspora communities play in Ukraine’s future?

Co-organized together with DIIS – Danish Institute for International Studies, we invite you to a seminar bringing together researchers, diplomats, NGO representatives, and Ukrainian voices working on migration and diaspora engagement.

The program includes presentations by DIIS researchers Ninna Nyberg Sørensen, whose work focuses on migration and development, and Nauja Kleist, who researches diaspora engagement and belonging in times of crisis. The roundtable discussion will feature Andrii Yanevskyi, Ambassador of Ukraine to Denmark; Adrien Bory from the Danish Refugee Council and DEMAC; Roman Mykytenko from the Ukrainian World Congress; and Nataliia Popovych, Chairperson of Ukraine House in Denmark. The discussion will be moderated by Ida Marie Savio Vammen, a DIIS researcher focusing on migration.

We will soon share more information about each speaker.

Date: Tuesday, May 27
Time: 16:00–18:00
Location: Ukraine House in Denmark, Strandgade 27B, Copenhagen

Join us for an afternoon of critical discussion on Ukraine’s future and the diaspora’s role in its recovery.

Built around testimonies of people who lived through Russian occupation in different regions of Ukraine, the book is based on interviews collected in 2022–2024 as part of The Reckoning Project. Bringing together reportage, monologues, and documentary essays, it reflects on memory, violence, survival, and the challenge of speaking about war through personal experience.

The conversation will focus on the process of documenting war crimes and occupation, the role of testimony, and the ethical questions that emerge when working with trauma and memory. Through stories from Chernihiv, Kharkiv, Mykolaiv regions, and territories that remain under occupation, the event offers a way to engage with Russia’s war against Ukraine beyond headlines and abstraction.

Svitlana Oslavska is an independent Ukrainian journalist, writer, and cultural researcher. Since 2022, she has documented Russian war crimes as part of The Reckoning Project and writes for Ukrainian and international publications.

The event will be held in English. The book will be available for purchase on site in Ukrainian.

Since Russia’s full-scale invasion, embroidery and other forms of traditional craft have taken on new meaning as part of Ukraine’s cultural resistance. During this event, you will have the opportunity to try Ukrainian embroidery yourself, learn about its historical role, and hear how art and culture are used in different contexts to resist occupation and cultural erasure.

We will hear a personal story from our Chairperson Nataliia Popovych, while Yastemska Oksana, Head of the Fund Work Sector of the National Museum of Folk Architecture and Everyday Life of Ukraine and ethnographer, will talk about the embroidery tradition from different regions of Ukraine.

The theoretical part will be followed by a hands-on workshop led by one of our Ukrainian craftspeople. Participants will work with authentic patterns from the Ivan Honchar Museum archive and each person will receive their own kit and embroider a small ornament to take with them.

The event is free of charge but requires registration, as places are limited.
