The Education Centre “Sunflower” team took part in the Autumn Education Conference organised by the Association of Ukrainian Teachers in Great Britain (AUTGB). This year’s conference was hosted by the Ukrainian School of Leicester. The event brought together educators, teachers, and organisers of Ukrainian schools and educational centres, representing over 30 establishments from across the United Kingdom.
Participants shared their experience, discussed current challenges, and explored new ways to ensure that children living abroad continue to learn the Ukrainian language, culture, and history — maintaining a strong connection to their heritage.
