Cultural visit to the capital city of Ukraine
december 2008
  

A delegation of the foundations ‘St. Zeeuwse klederdracht’ and ‘St. International Folklore’ was during  Christmas holidays in Kiev.

The local representative of one of the foundations organised meetings with leaders and directors of cultural organisations in and around Kiev.

The Dutch delegation could also follow a day in the school from Nastya, a girl from 10 years old in Kiev. And her lessons in the school for circus and music.

During there stay there was also time to visit the music theatre and some museums.

For the future there is a lot to do to make exchange programs between schools and art organisations in Ukraine and the Netherlands.

Gerard van Damme
