Everything is known in comparison. It is then that we appreciate our own, our native land more: and Petrykivka painting, and Cossack songs, and the tastiest dishes on the planet…
This is the first.
And secondly, Ukrainian and world culture and art are professionally studied by not so many of our students.
So, here’s what we decided…
To present the regional competition “We study the elements of the intangible cultural heritage of the world” to future lawyers, police officers, builders and customs officers!
The presentation of the project took place at the Dnipropetrovsk State University of Internal Affairs.
The presentation was attended by representatives of 9 higher education institutions that participated in the competition.
And we are convinced that the competition works this time will be really creative and interesting. Because we will see a view of world culture and elements of its intangible heritage, so to speak, from the other side. At least we hope so.
However, having announced the competition, we in no way limit it to these universities. All students of our region can take part in it.
Because we know for sure that culture unites!
And this is an undeniable truth.
