Student life has exciting events, diverse experiences, and memorable moments! It's a time to explore exhibitions, museums, and art or learn something new related to your future profession. Student days are rich in creativity and opportunities for personal growth and self-discovery. Therefore, students of the Faculty of Chemical and Biopharmaceutical Technologies actively participate in university events, organize thematic activities, and explore inspiring projects.
In early October, biotechnology students visited two specialized exhibitions at the International Exhibition Centre: "LABEXPO," an international exhibition of laboratory equipment and innovative technologies, and the traditional annual exhibition "Leather and Shoes 2024."
On October 3, students and teachers visited The Bohdan and Varvara Khanenko National Museum of Arts, Ukraine's foremost world art museum, which houses Ukraine's most extensive collection of Western European, Asian, and ancient art.
On October 10, faculty students attended Alla Osadcha's art exhibition, "FLOWER Extravaganza." The works, created over many years, reflect the artist's perception of the world and celebrate the beauty and grandeur of Ukraine.
The same day, faculty students participated in a literary club meeting to discuss Hilarion Pavlyuk's book "I See You Are Interested in the Dark." This detective novel's intricate plot immerses readers in diverse cultural references, including The Divine Comedy by Dante, Stephen King novels, Hieronymus Bosch paintings, biblical and mythological themes, rock and classical music, and films like The Matrix and The Silence of the Lambs. Seeing young people engaging with modern literature while exploring historical influences is inspiring.
On October 17, first-year students visited the KNUTD Embroidery Museum, a cultural space dedicated to Ukrainian national clothing, household items, and embroidery, a national heritage symbol. The exhibition displays costumes, towels, and ornaments representing the cultural essence of our people. Students learned about regional embroidery styles, symbolism, and sacred meanings.
On October 21, faculty students visited "Zemlya," an art project by Ukrainian artist Volodymyr Padun. This emotionally resonant exhibition reflects how art can thrive under threat, uniting people and sustaining hope for a better future.
Ahead of the Day of Ukrainian Literature and Language, students joined in writing the All-Ukrainian Dictation of National Unity. They also recorded a thematic video celebrating the holiday, honouring Ukraine's history and linguistic heritage. A country that loses its native language loses its soul. Let us all cherish and preserve our melodious Ukrainian language, as it is the spirit and pride of our nation!
At the end of the month, on October 29, third-year students in speciality 226 held an event on "The Symbolism of Flowers in Shakespeare's Works." In Shakespeare's plays, flowers symbolize memory, life's transience, remorse, and love. The students explored the connections between plants' symbolic meanings and physical characteristics, recalled facts from Shakespeare's life, read sonnets, and watched trailers for renowned adaptations of his works.
Let's journey together toward a bright, peaceful future!
