Today, on the anniversary of the birth of the most distinguished Ukrainian writer, Taras Shevchenko, I want to remind everyone, that Ukraine’s Cultural Diplomacy Month 2023 is underway right now!

Wikimedia Ukraine, along with the Ukrainian institute and Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, brings out already third installment of this writing contest which focuses on Ukrainian culture and people. The campaign is underway until 31st March spanning across all Wikipedias under the usual motto “Ukraine Everywhere”!

We follow last year’s very successful campaign during which we have seen contributions in 60 different languages from Hausa to Hebrew, from Persian to Portuguese, from Meitei to Malay, and from Georgian to German. Contributors all over the world have written 3813 articles and improved 262, making valuable commitments to the popularization of our culture in moments when it has reached its most dangerous times.

We invite everyone to join and share information about “Ukraine’s Cultural Diplomacy Month”! All information about the project, the list of proposed articles, and the terms of participation are available at ucdm.wikimedia.org.ua.

Best regards,

Valentyn Nefedov,

Project manager for Wikimedia Ukraine
