Description

Saturdays are a busy time for the children in Ukrainian communities. That’s the day they go to school to learn the language, stories and games of Ukraine – and how to dance like Cossacks!

Ukraine is a large country in eastern Europe. Neighbours include Russia, Belarus, Poland and Romania. Ukriane has a population of nearly 53 million, mostly consisting of ethnic Ukrainians, a Slavic nationality group with its own language and customs. Russians are the second largest group. About two-thirds of the population live in cities, many in high-rise apartment blocks. The people largely work in service industries and manufacturing.

The underlying values explored in the book Our Saturday School are:

- Inquiry and curiosity

- Diversity

- Freedom
