The Ukrainian Jewish Encounter's Ukraine office continued activities throughout 2022, despite challenging conditions created by Russia's criminal war against Ukraine.<\/p>\n

Awarding the winners<\/a> of the All-Ukrainian youth drawing competition \"Ukrainian-Jewish Encounter: Our stories are incomplete without each other\" \u2014 2021 was an important project for the office. Additionally, an exhibition<\/a> of the works of competition participants was held. Looking forward to the future, the office announced next year's competition<\/a>, titled \"Ukrainian-Jewish Encounter: We are with Ukraine\" \u2014 2022\". Announcing winners and displaying participants' works is planned for the beginning of 2023.<\/p>\n
