Our young generation will raise the ability to embroider, wear clothes, have embroidered things, living in the apartment with embroidered interior to a much higher level of national culture. It will play a very important role in the upbringing of their national consciousness. Moreover, their children will grow up proud of their nation, Ukrainian culture and the Ukrainians.
