What we do

Action with purpose

We connect people, celebrate Ukrainian culture, and organize support for Ukraine.

A space for children

The Ukrainian language Lukuleikit club meets at KOTILO for play, reading, drawing and storytelling.

Everyday connections

A book club, family outings and shared hikes make room for friendship and exploring northern nature.
