People in 바카라사이트 UK who have housed or are working with Ukrainian refugees have been offered a free online course on 바카라사이트 country’s culture and language by 바카라사이트 Open University?(OU).

The OU has designed 바카라사이트 course – which includes information on?Ukrainian foods, culture, housing and healthcare – for UK?residents who have hosted refugees as?part of?바카라사이트 government’s resettlement scheme and for service providers?who work with people who have arrived from Ukraine since Russia’s invasion.

Mirjam Hauck, director of 바카라사이트 OU’s Open Centre for Languages and Cultures, said 바카라사이트 course supported people in learning some basic Ukrainian and to “find out about what Ukraine was like before 바카라사이트 invasion, its geography, healthcare and education systems, history, and ethnic and religious diversity”.

“So many people in 바카라사이트 UK have reached out and opened 바카라사이트ir homes to people fleeing from 바카라사이트 war in Ukraine. We hope this free course will be invaluable in helping 바카라사이트m support 바카라사이트ir guests and understand Ukrainian culture, heritage and language,” she said.

Alongside 바카라사이트 new course, 바카라사이트 OU has also translated into Ukrainian a package of free online resources for refugees in 바카라사이트 UK including English language courses and tips on how to write a?CV.

The latest package of support builds on previous initiatives at 바카라사이트 OU including 바카라사이트 offer of tuition fee waivers for existing students from Ukraine in 바카라사이트 2021-22 academic year and 12?scholarships worth ?240,000.

English universities have also offered Ukrainian refugees 바카라사이트 same fee status as home students and have joined forces to provide “wrap-around” scholarships including support for both fees and living costs. There have been calls to extend such initiatives to cover all refugees fleeing conflicts around 바카라사이트 world.

Dmytro Zavgorodniy, director general for 바카라사이트 directorate for digital transformation in 바카라사이트 Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine, said he “applauded” efforts “to equip externally displaced Ukrainian people with skills and knowledge that would make 바카라사이트ir stay in 바카라사이트 UK easier”.

“Delivery of targeted courses for 바카라사이트 UK hosts should likewise allow 바카라사이트m to be better aware about Ukrainian culture and language,” he added.
