PROJECT CO-ORGANISERS IN ATHENS
Ukrainian - Hellenic Thought

The Association of the Ukrainian Diaspora in Greece, Ukrainian - Hellenic Thought is the first officially registered Ukrainian association in Greece, which was founded in 1997 and based on the first and still the only Ukrainian newspaper with the Greek supplement Visnyk-Aggelioforos (The messenger). The goal of the association is to save Ukrainian identity, language, customs and traditions, and inform the Greek society about the Ukrainian ancient and modern history and the uniqueness of the Ukrainian culture. For the past 20 years the association has been actively collaborating with Ukrainian, Greek and international organizations. It has also held a whole array of events, exhibitions, conferences and seminars. The association Ukrainian - Hellenic Thought has a Ukrainian Sunday school and five centers on the continental and insular parts of Greece. It is a member of the older Ukrainian diaspora organizations, such as the Ukrainian World Congress (founded in 1967) and the European Congress of Ukrainians (founded in 1949). The association supports the new media resource Ukranorama, which is the only Ukrainian media outlet in Greece.
