The study, preservation and
propagation of traditional folk culture is now one of the top-priority
tasks for most countries of European traditional culture. This task is
especially urgent for peoples of the countries, where on the verge of the
third millennium the traditional culture is not only a historical fact but
also the living reality. Ukraine is one of such countries.
Folk culture and art of the
Ukrainians is fairy considered to be one of the richest possessions of
cultural treasury of the European nations. Diversity of genres and
perfection of forms, poetry and high lyricism and profound philosophy of
Ukrainian folklore rises like a high tower over folk painting and pottery,
ornamental design and embroidery, weaving and sewing, architecture and
carving, ceramics and Easter eggs painting, metal working and forging. The
major aim of the proposed project is to show the wealth of Ukrainian folk
arts and crafts - the basis of the modern culture of the great European
nation - in the integral cultural and everyday life
context.
The major tasks of the
Project "My Ukraine. Bervy" are recordings of Ukrainian authentic
folklore, preservation of unique archives by means of converting them into
digital technologies, issuing a series of audio- and multimedia
compact-disks, creation of permanently functioning Internet-page dedicated
to Ukrainian traditional culture.
