Ukrainian National Unity Radio Dictation 2025 Set for October 27

The date of the All-Ukrainian Radio Dictation for National Unity 2025 has been announced: the event will take place on Monday, October 27, on the Day of Ukrainian Writing and Language. The initiative began back in 2000 thanks to the team at Ukrainian Radio.

The live broadcast of the event will cover radio, television, and digital platforms, so the text will be accessible to a broad audience around the world. Traditionally, the most active participants in the flash mob are schoolchildren, students, and teachers of educational institutions, but anyone who is learning and improving Ukrainian can join.

The coordinator of the radio dictation and the executive producer of Ukrainian Radio, Yulia Sheludko, noted growing interest this year: many people and companies are seeking information about the date and rules for taking part, as they want to write corporately. This interest underscores the event’s significance for the public mood and the country’s language culture.

Participation Details and History of the Event

Who exactly will write the text for this year’s radio dictation and who will read it live will be announced closer to the date during the preparation of Ukrainian Radio’s on-air programs.

Last year, participation in the All-Ukrainian Radio Dictation for National Unity attracted more than half a million people on various platforms, and more than 10,000 letters were received from over 30 countries around the world. The event continues to draw many people who want to test their own command of the Ukrainian language and culture.

In previous years, the text for the dictation was created by well-known Ukrainian authors, and read by leading poets and actors. The event encourages broad audience participation – from educational institutions to corporate teams. More detailed information and updates can be expected during official broadcasts and on the appropriate language programs.

The event aims to promote the Ukrainian language, safeguard cultural heritage, and unite the country around a shared linguistic mission. It is expected that this year’s radio dictation will continue the tradition of highlighting important linguistic topics and bring Ukrainians together in different parts of the world.
