A Ukrainian NGO activist and head of International department who likes to discover new things, tastes, places, people, experiences, and share the positive feelings with other people:)

For the last 2,5 years, I live in a rural municipality in Norway on the border with Sweden and I try to participate in the local cultural and social life to the best of my abilities.
I took part in three choirs here in Norway and had two exhibitions with my poetry.

I am pretty much just navigating life in rural Norway trying to understand how - and whether - I fit here.

I have learned Norwegian Bokmål to B2 level and work as a language support for fellow Ukrainians in Norway.

PHILOSOPHY

The philosophy I like the most is epicurean - enjoy your life to the full, and respect people around you:)

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

From the current life, I would say surviving as a refugee and finding a place in a closed Norwegian society.

From the previous life (I have not used CS for MANY years):
Among places that amazed me the most were- The bearded winged guards from the British Museum, London;
The aztec spoon from a shop in Greenwich, UK;
A Pagan temple in Armenia (which looks Greek!);

I remember with laughter how I lived one day in London only on salo (Ukrainian national lard/bacon cuisine).

教，学，和分享

Share: Ukrainian culture and history, how to write European Commission's Erasmus+ projects, Ukrainian songs and national cuisine, several team building games and energisers, history, culture and architecture of my city Kharkiv.
