For Students of Form 11A!!!
And Also for Pupils of Forms 7B, 4A and 4G!
The Project
The
concept of A Day in the Life of Ukraine is very simple.
On December 13, 2011, people who were in Ukraine wrote about their lives.
On May 5, 2012, they did it again!
On both occasions, these pieces of writing were shared, allowing people in Ukraine and abroad insight into the rich social landscape that makes up this country.
This fall, we will continue the project: November 1, 2012 will be the third ‘Day in the Life of Ukraine’.
It is our hope that this project will encourage greater understanding of what it means to live in Ukraine today, both among Ukrainians and among all those seeking a greater global understanding. Ukraine is a country full of differences, but the celebration of these differences also allows the opportunity for shared strength.
