“НАШЕ ЖИТТЯ”, ЛИПЕНЬ - СЕРПЕНЬ 2010 17 UNWLA DETROIT WELCOMES EDUCATORS FROM UKRAINE Delegation of Ukrainian educators at the Detroit Regional Council Domivka The UNWLA Detroit Regional had the distinct opportunity and privilege o f hosting five leading educators from Ukraine from April 16, 2010 to April 24, 2010. The delegation was sponsored by the Open World Library of Congress Program for the purpose of observing and learning about the American educational system. The program, ma n - aged by the U.S. - Ukraine Foundation, Washington, D.C., is sponsored by the Open World Leadership Center under the auspices of the U.S. legislative branch agency in charge of Open World.
