The Ukrainian Jewish Encounter's Ukraine office continued activities throughout 2022, despite challenging conditions created by Russia's criminal war against Ukraine.
Awarding the winners of the All-Ukrainian youth drawing competition "Ukrainian-Jewish Encounter: Our stories are incomplete without each other" — 2021 was an important project for the office. Additionally, an exhibition of the works of competition participants was held. Looking forward to the future, the office announced next year's competition, titled "Ukrainian-Jewish Encounter: We are with Ukraine" — 2022". Announcing winners and displaying participants' works is planned for the beginning of 2023.
