On 29 January 2023, the Sholem Aleichem Museum in downtown Kyiv hosted the award ceremony of the All-Ukrainian Children's Drawing Contest \"Ukrainian-Jewish Encounter: We are from Ukraine \u2014 2022\". An exhibition of the contestants' works was opened there the same day.<\/p>\n

For the second consecutive year, the Contest was held among high-school students in Ukrainian schools, gymnasiums, and lyceums. The Contest aims to deepen the participant's understanding of the breadth, complexity, and diversity of Ukrainian-Jewish relations over the centuries with a view to the future, enabling a better understanding of shared historical experiences as well as fostering a tolerant and aware attitude towards interethnic relations.<\/p>\n

In 2022, high-school students from different parts of Ukraine and abroad participated in the Contest. A professional international jury was formed to evaluate the works and select the winners.<\/p>\n

The winners were awarded cash prizes from the Contest's organizer \u2014 the Ukrainian Jewish Encounter, a Canadian charitable non-profit organization. All other participants received valuable prizes from UJE: books on Ukrainian-Jewish relations and certificates of participation.<\/p>\n

The exhibition, which was open from 29 January to 25 February 2023, attracted considerable attention among Kyiv residents and visitors.<\/p>\n
