22.01.2022 We have prepared something authentic and one of its kind. It will all happen during The Great Ukrainian Banquet, 2nd November, 6pm. More about our event and tickets here: https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/the-great-ukrainian-banquet

21.01.2022 Friday night saw our Ukrainian School Adelaide students visiting the Ukrainian Cultural Museum Adelaide to experience the ‘Ukrainians in SA: Arrival at Outer Ha...rbor and Woodside in 1949’ Exhibition. Students heard stories about Ukrainian migration to Adelaide in 1949 by ship, what it was like living in the Woodside Migrant Camp and viewed documents, photos and items that families brought with them. This experience was most valuable in that it helped students develop a stronger connection to their cultural heritage, understanding what is was like for their relatives travelling to the other side of the world to a foreign and unknown land and beginning a new life in Australia. A big Дякую to Iryna Boujenko and all involved in the Women's Association for creating and sharing this interesting and important exhibition with us. #UkrainianSchoolAdelaide #UkrainiansinAdelaide #SAHistoryFestival #UkrainianWomensAssociationinSA #familyhistory #knowyourroots #familyheritage #Ukrainianmigration #sharestories #sharingforfuturegenerations #historyfestivaladelaide #ukrainianculturalmuseumadelaide #woodsideSA

16.01.2022 Yesterday was Ukraine’s 28th anniversary of Independence. With the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, Ukraine officially declared itself an independent state... on 24 August of that year. This afternoon the Ukrainian community will celebrate both Independence Day and the 70th Anniversary of Ukrainian settlement in South Australia with a concert and cabaret at their Association of Ukrainians in SA community centre in Hindmarsh. Many Ukrainians started their new lives in South Australia when they arrived at Outer Harbor in 1949 along with other Displaced Persons from Europe and were taken by special trains to Woodside migrant camp in the Adelaide Hills, where they lived until they found jobs. Many of the younger children started their education here at the school set up at the camp, while older children were bussed to Oakbank. This year is also the 40th anniversary of the founding of the Ukrainian Museum by the Ukrainian Women's Association in South Australia . It is the only one of its kind in Australia and houses artefacts built up from Ukrainian family heirloom donations reflecting the nation’s history and artisan tradition. Situated round the corner from the Ukrainian Community Centre at 6 George Street Hindmarsh, it is open by appointment as well as having a regular open day and event during South Australia's History Festival in May.
