Yesterday, CodeIT Innovation girls wore their Vyshyvankas, Ukraine's iconic traditional embroidered garments — to honour one of the most powerful symbols of Ukrainian culture and identity.
Vyshyvanka is not just clothing. It is a living archive. Each geometric ornament, floral motif, and regional pattern carries the memory of a specific corner of Ukraine — its people, its land, its story. Throughout decades of Soviet occupation, this garment was restricted and banned in an effort to erase Ukrainian identity. But the tradition survived. It always does.
Vyshyvanka Day was founded in 2006 by Lesia Voroniuk as a student initiative. In 2026, it has grown into a global movement, a collective act of remembrance, pride, and cultural resilience.
Wearing the Vyshyvanka is a reminder of the deep-rooted culture behind our team, one that has always valued heritage, dedication, and a quiet, unbreakable grit.
