Elderly Service Workers' Training Project. Block B: Cultural Gerontology. Module B.1: Ukrainian Culture.
Harvey, Dexter; Cap, Orest
This learning module, which is part of a three-block series intended to help human service workers develop the skills necessary to solve the problems encountered in their daily contact with elderly clients of different cultural backgrounds, deals with Ukrainian culture. The first two sections provide general information about the size and general characteristics of Canada's Ukrainian population and the module's general objectives. The next section examines the Ukraine's historical past and several aspects of Ukrainian Canadian history that have helped shape the character of the Ukrainian people. The final sections discuss the importance of the Ukrainian culture for older adults of Ukrainian origin, the perception and role of the older adult in the Ukrainian culture, and several of the difficulties and risks that older Ukrainian adults experience within a multicultural society. Lists of selected readings and descriptions of seven films dealing with Ukrainian culture are appended. (MN)
