OpenLearn is delighted to launch a free course for people housing, caring for, and working with Ukrainians across the UK. It focuses on Ukrainian culture and language, and has been developed to support the individuals and service providers hosting and working with people that arrived from Ukraine.

Learners will also have a chance to chat in the forums provided, to find out more about Ukraine-related topics. It will be moderated by a community advisor who will provide support to learners during the course and provide check-ins at key points.

Alongside the new course, we have translated into Ukrainian a package of free online resources for Ukrainian refugees living in the UK, including English language courses and articles on how to write a CV.
