How Will You be a Supportive Friend?
The Ukrainian Culture Guide is designed for people like you who are welcoming Ukrainians and seeking to support their transition to the United States.
People from the U.S. and Ukrainians have many incredible similarities we can celebrate. At the same time, our unique personalities and cultural backgrounds create complex differences that can be both enriching and challenging to navigate. We create the Ukrainian Culture Guide as a resource to help you better understand some key elements of your Ukrainian friend's culture and to give you a foundation from which to build an effective, mutually enriching relationship.
