The Ukrainian Cultural Center was founded in 2002. The organization is open to people of different religions and nationalities and was established to promote Ukrainian culture in Estonia. A place where local Ukrainians can preserve their language, culture and traditions, while other nations know more about Ukraine. The local cooperation partners have always been the Estonian Embassy in Kiev, the Ivano Frankivsk City Hospital, the Ukrainian International Aid Coordination Center for the Wounded and the Ukrainian Peace Foundation.

Some examples of the activities of the Ukrainian Cultural Center in Ukraine in recent years:

• Financial assistance to families of people killed or severely disabled
• The Ukrainian Cultural Center has previously organized a support campaign for the victims of the Maidan riots: www.supportukraine.ee. More than 11,500 euros were raised during the campaign.
