The Ukrainian Institute is a public institution, affiliated with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Our mission is to strengthen Ukraine's international standing through the means of cultural diplomacy. The activities of the institution are to improve the understanding and perception of Ukraine in the world and to build its cultural relations with other countries. Established by the Government of Ukraine, the Institute commenced its work in 2018.
In our daily work, we rely on values and principles. They are embedded in the activities of the Institute's Team, the project selection and implementation, communication with partners, internal policies, and work standards.
