Seit 2022 sind mehr als 350.000 ukrainische Kinder und Jugendliche unter 18 Jahren als Teil der insgesamt 1.350.599 aus der Ukraine nach Deutschland geflüchteten Menschen nach Deutschland gekommen.*

Viele Menschen ukrainischer Herkunft in Deutschland möchten ihre Herkunftssprache erlernen oder erhalten. Ukrainischkenntnisse können dabei helfen, einen möglichen Sprachverlust zu vermeiden, die Verbindung zur eigenen kulturellen Identität zu bewahren, traumatische Erfahrungen zu verarbeiten und die Perspektive einer späteren Rückkehr in die Ukraine offenzuhalten. Zugleich bietet das Erlernen der Sprache die Möglichkeit, die ukrainische Kultur und Geschichte näher kennenzulernen.

Mittlerweile wird Ukrainisch in Deutschland auf Schul- und auf Hochschulebene angeboten. Auch an der Universität Regensburg besteht die Möglichkeit, Ukrainisch im Rahmen unseres Ukrainisch-Lektorats zu erlernen.

😊Wir freuen uns sehr, unsere Medienstipendiatinnen, die deutschen Journalistinnen Tamina Kutscher und Mandy Ganske-Zapf, in Regensburg begrüßen zu dürfen!

📚Im Rahmen ihres Stipendiums setzen sich die Medienvertreterinnen intensiv mit russischer Propaganda und Desinformation im Kontext des russischen Angriffskriegs gegen die Ukraine auseinander. Darüber hinaus entwickeln sie gemeinsam mit den Wissenschaftlerinnen und Wissenschaftlern unseres Projekts konkrete Ideen für neue, crossmediale Formate der Wissenschaftskommunikation (auf den Bildern – Dr. Oleksandr Zabirko und Dr. Olha Martyniuk).
