Launch of free Romanian language courses in Romania intended to facilitate the integration of Ukrainians

In an initiative aimed at fostering cultural and linguistic cooperation, the Romanian Cultural Institute (ICR) has partnered with the Embassy of Ukraine and the National Confederation for Women's Entrepreneurship (CONAF) to offer free Romanian language courses for Ukrainian citizens residing in Romania.

The announcement was made by ICR president Liviu Sebastian Jicman, who stated that learning Romanian is "both a chance for integration and a way of better understanding each other." The courses, designed to equip participants with essential language skills for everyday life, access to public services, and entry into the labor market, will run from September 29 to December 3. Registration remains open until September 19.

The courses, which will be celebrated on Romanian Language Day, an annual event hosted by ICR to promote Romanian as a language of identity and dialogue, are being led by the Romanian Cultural Institute. The source of the photo accompanying this article is Icr.ro.

Cristina Chiriac, president of CONAF, views the project as more than just language learning, emphasizing it as a means for building real inclusion. Chiriac believes that integrating refugees can provide a workforce, trust, demographics, and stability.

Ukrainian ambassador Ihor Prokopchuk welcomed the initiative, stating that it would ease integration and strengthen European values shared by both countries. Jicman also mentioned that the language, spoken by more than 30 million people worldwide, offers opportunities beyond Romania's borders.

The ICR regularly runs language courses for foreigners in Romania and abroad. Those interested in enrolling in the free courses can find details here. Irina Marica wrote this article.

The courses are expected to facilitate integration and promote understanding between the two nations, ultimately strengthening the bonds of friendship and cooperation between Romania and Ukraine.
