The Ukrainian Community in North Ayrshire will deliver two intercultural workshops designed to strengthen community spirit, reduce social isolation, and celebrate cultural diversity. Ukrainian Pysanka Workshop (£600): Two invited masters will lead a traditional Ukrainian egg-decorating session for up to 40 participants. The workshop includes full sets of materials, demonstrations, hands-on practice, and opportunities for participants to learn about Ukrainian heritage. The session will also include refreshments and a chance to socialise. Joint Dumpling and Pelmeni Making Workshop (£400): A practical cooking event for around 40–50 participants. Community members will work together to prepare and share traditional Ukrainian dumplings, supported by facilitators. The activity will promote intercultural exchange, teamwork, and create a welcoming space where people can connect over food. Together, these workshops will provide creative and inclusive opportunities for local residents of all backgrounds, including New Scots from Hong Kong, Syria, Ukraine, and the wider community to come together, share traditions, and build meaningful connections.
