Mother's Day at the Ukrainian Center in Pärnu: Warmth, Inspiration, and Joy
Today, the Ukrainian Center in Pärnu hosted a heartfelt celebration dedicated to Mother’s Day. The event became a true source of warmth, inspiration, and joy for our entire Ukrainian community!
The highlight of the day was a very special guest — author, writer, and wonderful mother with a big heart, Marko Teren. Her sincere words and warm presence filled the event with genuine love and encouragement. Meeting her was a true gift to everyone present.
Even the weather supported us — the sun was shining brightly, setting the perfect mood for a cheerful and inspiring gathering!
We would like to express our deep gratitude to all the mothers who joined us. Your care, strength, and love are the foundation of our Ukrainian community in Pärnu. You are an endless source of inspiration for your children and for all of us!
Children explored their dreams through drawing, shared their ideas, and listened to beloved Ukrainian fairy tales and stories. They talked about their superpowers, engaged in creative activities, and received wonderful prizes for their participation. It was a magical experience for everyone involved.
We are especially happy to announce that Marko Teren will now have her own dedicated author’s corner at our Center — a space where her voice will continue to inspire us.

We look forward to seeing you again soon! 💖🌷

Read more🎉 Hooray! It finally happened!
Our wonderful vocal group "Dzhereltse", uniting Ukrainian children in Pärnu, has joyfully wrapped up the academic year and is heading into summer break — with songs in our hearts and smiles on our faces! ☀️
Over the past eight amazing months, we’ve gone from magical Christmas concerts to energetic spring performances, covering the entire school year. We grew together — as a group, as friends, and as a creative family.
New faces joined along the way, but the heart of the group remained strong, inspired, and full of energy.
Thanks to our talented kids, concert halls light up, audiences feel every beat, and our songs become bridges between cultures. ❤️
Estonian listeners love your voices, and that fuels our passion even more!
We can’t wait to see you all again in September for a new season of professional rehearsals.
You’re amazing, creative, and full of spirit!
A special thank-you to Maryna Bykovets-Ratushna, the heart and soul of this group.
With her dedication, time, and belief in us, she’s taught us to love both Ukrainian and Estonian songs, making the dream of a children’s choir in little Pärnu come true. 🎤
Thank you to everyone who has supported us! And to those who wish to join — don’t hesitate!

02.06.2025Meeting with Ene Täht: openness, support, and shared solutions 🇺🇦💙💛
Read moreWe sincerely thank Ms. Ene Täht and her assistant Helena Viks for their openness, support, and warm communication. In Estonia, everyone has the right to be heard — and we truly felt it.
The meeting focused on key topics: education, kindergartens, language, housing, and legal support. It’s important that Ukrainian refugees now have equal rights in Estonia — to attend school, work, learn the language, receive medical insurance, and seek housing.
We discussed issues like school enrollment and withdrawal, teaching Ukrainian language, difficulties faced by teens not attending school, and rental disputes. These problems are usually not about nationality, but human factors — something universal.
We agreed to organize another legal meeting and create a Google form to collect info about employers to improve language course scheduling. The city also confirmed its help in finding kindergarten places during summer, and starting from September, plans full Estonian language immersion for grades 7–9 with added bilingual teachers.
We ended the meeting on a positive note — sharing cultural experiences. Ukrainian dumplings, borscht, and songs have warmed Estonian hearts. Thank you to everyone — we are stronger together.
