The Ukrainian Móðurmál group

The Ukrainian group has been an active part of Móðurmál, the association for bilingualism, for over three years. The group has become an important center of support, development, and unity for children of Ukrainian origin. The group includes both children who were born and raised in Iceland and those who arrived after the war in Ukraine began.

Learning and Activities:

Lessons are organized by experienced and dedicated teachers who create an engaging, meaningful, and diverse learning environment. The program includes:

  • Thematic lessons in Ukrainian language, culture, and history
  • Celebrations of traditional Ukrainian holidays
  • Excursions and educational trips
  • Outdoor breaks and games
  • Creative workshops and interactive activities

Support and community:

The group plays a vital role in providing emotional support to children, helping them adapt to a new environment while maintaining a connection to their native culture. It also:

  • Promotes the preservation of Ukrainian traditions and identity
  • Provides opportunities to communicate in their native language
  • Brings families together and fosters a sense of community
  • Supports the emotional well-being of the children

We regularly document our activities through photos and videos that showcase the children’s active participation, joy, and engagement. These materials also help parents stay connected to their children’s school life.
