The Czech Republic through the eyes of Ukrainians

In the paper, the perspective is presented of Ukrainians living in the Czech Republic on the selected aspects of local life. The research goal is to find out how the Ukrainians perceive life in the Czech Republic, Czech culture and education and what they see as differences and similarities of both cultures and ways of education. It is pointed out that the research includes the subjective experience, attitudes and opinions of individual respondents. Therefore, it does not represent the entire Ukrainian national minority living in the Czech Republic.
