Intangible Cultural Heritage of Ukrainians in Poland: Mapping and Dissemination

Homepage – Intangible Cultural Heritage of Ukrainians in Poland: Mapping and Dissemination

Between June and October 2024, the Europa Nostra Heritage Hub in Kraków, in collaboration with the Faculty of International and Political Studies at the Jagiellonian University, is undertaking a pioneering project entitled “Intangible Cultural Heritage of Ukrainians in Poland: Mapping and Dissemination”. The project includes study trips to the Nadsanie, Lemkivshchyna, and Podlasie regions, which will result in the creation of materials for the Community Archive for Heritage Activism in Central and Eastern Europe, as well as a series of English-language audio features.

The project is led by Dr Olga Kich-Masłej from the Department of Polish-Ukrainian Studies, in cooperation with Dr Katarzyna Jagodzińska from the Institute of European Studies, who also heads the Europa Nostra Hub, along with the Hub team. Funding is provided by the Jagiellonian University’s Strategic Programme Excellence Initiative.

The first podcast in the series, “Nadsanie”, is available here: NADSANIE

Despite growing interest, Ukrainian heritage in the post-migration areas of south-eastern Poland remains underrepresented in academic and public discourse. Before World War II, this area was home to over five million Ukrainians, but border changes and forced relocations between 1944 and 1947 led to the destruction of their tangible and intangible heritage. Research within the project is being conducted in three regions: Podlasie, Lemkivshchyna, and Nadsanie, which were particularly affected by these events.
