SAY HELLO TO UKRAINE
On 27th April 2023, another meeting of the SAY HELLO TO... series was held as part of the ENHANCE Language Tandem project. The event was prepared by Lviv and Kyiv Polytechnic Universities (ENHANCE Network Partners) and was coordinated by Dorota Chromińska, the Foreign Language Centre of Warsaw University of Technology Proxy for cooperation with ENHANCE and the Centre for International Cooperation. The event was attended by more than 20 people from ENHANCE universities, mainly from the Warsaw and Gdansk Universities of Technology as well as from the Valencia University of Technology.
During the event, Olha Pavlenko and Kateryna Tuliakova, Associate Professors from the Department of Linguistics at Kyiv Polytechnic University, and Hanna Shayner and Olha Tsubova, Associate Professors from the Foreign Language Department at Lviv Polytechnic University presented many interesting facts about Ukrainian culture, history, traditions, education and language in a very attractive and interactive way. A special guest, Glenn Anderson, a Peace Corps volunteer, talked about why he fell in love with Ukraine.
One of the goals of the event was also to show modern Ukraine as seen "through the eyes of the young Ukrainian people."
In addition, the participants took part in quizzes, shared their reflections, and of course, asked questions.
At the end of this event, all participants had the opportunity to learn and sing together a very popular Ukrainian song entitled Chervona Kalyna, which has a very special meaning for Ukrainians during the ongoing war. Link to the song: HERE.
