The 20^th Birthday of Ostroh Academy

                On the 9^th of October Ostroh Academy celebrated an anniversary that was an outstanding event we had a great honor to participate in. As a matter of fact, academy decided to refuse from extensive celebration, but in any case it was exciting, everyone felt delighted and content due to special warm atmosphere and loads of different small events and activities.

         This year was made a strong accent on patriotic actions. Actions speak louder than words, so participants of flashmobe formed live map of Ukraine to say that our country is indivisible. Moreover, guests with students and rector planted in the academic park bushes in the form of our national emblem. Also people could write letters for soldiers to support and to thank them, to express their impatience. With the help of such actions students and lecturers tried to make clear their attitude to the recent situation in the country.

         The second part included traditional Fair proposing uncountable amount of entertainments. It included concert, Ukrainian cuisine, souvenirs and hand-made production, drawing portraits, auction of marks, competition for the best costume of bee and festive cake.

         There was commemoration of Ukrainian victims in the evening, where students were watching short videos about Euromaidan.

         As I was saying, the celebration was a classic example of the most meaningful and patriotic intentions. At any rate, it was a real effort to organize such an event and it means that hearts of students and lecturers are on fire and this fire spreads and lit a fire in the hearts of other people to be active and responsible citizens of our country, especially in such a difficult time.
