A church, a community, and a new generation of heritage custodians in Ukraine

The discussions reflected a shared commitment to ensuring that the church's future will be shaped on the basis of sound technical evidence collected during the assessment, agreed follow-up actions and continued dialogue with the communities to which it belongs. This activity is expected to serve as a pilot case for a broader response to the challenge of safeguarding Ukraine's wooden heritage — highly vulnerable to the risks of the ongoing war,  yet central to the cultural identity of many Ukrainian communities.
