Ukraine 2022
The FSK, museums, galleries, curators, artists, cultural creators… we are all messengers of a diverse contemporary world and protectors of the world’s heritage.
Here, we document the aggression on Ukraine’s heritage, connect and assist experts and institutions in different fields at the international level, and learn more about Ukraine’s cultural gems. Through dialogue with our Ukrainian colleagues, we want to preserve the bridges we have built and foster respect for different cultures, and with concrete actions help protect Ukraine’s endangered heritage.
We believe this is the right way!
“We must safeguard this cultural heritage, as a testimony of the past but also as a vector of peace for the future, which the international community has a duty to protect and preserve for future generations. It is also to protect the future that educational institutions must be considered sanctuaries.«“
Audrey Azoulay
UNESCO Director-General

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry.
