The听, established in 2001, is the official association of people that are doing their studies or research at the 海角社区 and are Ukrainians by blood, passport or spirit. We unite both Ukrainians and foreigners who care for Ukraine, its past, present and future. The Society is open to everyone. It promotes Ukrainian culture, gives an insight on Ukrainian politics, strengthens social networks among its members and assists in the establishment of professional, academic and business links of its members with outside community.
