Description

The School of Ukrainian Language & Culture would like to invite you to our ninth Summer Program in the Cultural Capital of Ukraine Lviv.

Every summer from late May to early August, UCU welcomes some 400 students from all over the world to its wide variety of courses, mostly within the liberal arts, social sciences and theology.

Our program allows you plenty of time to discover your new country, culture and customs. You can enjoy leisure time at various venues including theaters, opera, circus, concert halls and music bars. The city restaurants offer both the Old Ukrainian culinary and the new trends, which come both from the West and the East.

One week in Italy.
This course focuses on history of Ukrainian organizations and people related to it, as also on visiting the famous places in Rome.

Highlights

Lviv is a unique city, in which history, culture, mentality of two worlds - the East and the West - are tolerantly merged. It is interesting to note that the city lies at equal distance from Crimea (or, specifically, the city of Theodosia), former medieval Kafa, and Venice. Obviously, Lviv's geographical location at the intersection of global cultures and civilizations has influenced its inimitable atmosphere. Despite many sufferings brought by numerous wars over the long centuries of Lviv's history, the city's architectural landmarks remained almost intact.

Lviv is an open air museum, embodiment of the Ukrainian culture and European charm, unforgettable panoramas and unique monuments of architecture, old traditions and, surely, flavored coffee in the legendary Lviv coffee houses. Guests are charmed by the special atmosphere of majestic calmness reigning in the city and pleasantly striking hospitality of local habitants.
