From 6 to 8 November 2025, students of groups 2KS-61, 2KH-11, 2KB-05 and 1KH-12, together with their group tutors — Anastasiia Kryvchenko, Dmytro Dzhabrailov and Artur Zhdan — set off for the capital on an excursion that became more than just a trip. It was an act of unity, remembrance and faith in the future.
The route included:
- The Golden Gate (the Karaite kenesa, the houses of Igor Sikorsky and Lesya Ukrainka)
- Sophia Square
- The viewing platform near St Andrew’s Church
- The Glass Bridge
- Independence Square
- Khreshchatyk
- The Globus shopping centre
- Metro stations as an example of urban infrastructure
- The Motherland Monument
- Kyiv Pechersk Lavra
- Giant murals — as the voice of modern Ukraine on the city’s walls
- The evening lights of Khreshchatyk — as a symbol of unbreakability, beauty and life that goes on
- The final chord — the grand Ukraine WOW exhibition
Ukraine WOW is not just an exhibition. It is an intellectual, emotional and visual journey across the whole of Ukraine: its nature, culture, industry, heroes, dreams and strength. The students immersed themselves in interactive zones, saw installations that impress with their scale, and felt that every region of Ukraine is its own story, its own pride, its own victory. It is a space where contemporary art, technology and national identity merge into one:
“We are Ukraine. We are unbreakable. We are WOW.”
At a time when the country is fighting for freedom, such trips are not just study. They are a breath of hope, the pulse of national dignity, a living contact with the history that shapes our strength.
The students saw how the past, present and future of Ukraine are interwoven in every stone, every street, every gaze. They felt that being Ukrainian is an honour, a responsibility and an endless energy to create.
We thank the organisers for the opportunity to see Kyiv not as tourists, but as citizens who love their country, study it more deeply — and carry this light further.
