In October 2026, lecturers of philological disciplines at the Odesa Technical Professional College, in line with the work plan of the language ombudsman and their individual plans, organised and held a series of events aimed at promoting and developing the Ukrainian language.
Students took part in writing the Radio Dictation of National Unity, prepared video greetings, recited poems, shared apt expressions, proverbs and aphorisms, and told interesting stories about the Ukrainian language. Students of the College Margarita Tkachuk, Evelina Vorobyova, Yeva Hrytsyshyna, Sofiia Baraniuk, Polina Tarasova, Maria Slabenko, Valeriia Herasimova, Daria Myroshnychenko (lecturer M. M. Burunduková), Anna Novikova, Viktoriia Pohorolyuk, Anastasiia Shtompel (lecturer N. M. Komar), Kostiantyn Shcherbakov (lecturer I. M. Rudets) took an active part in the All-Ukrainian Just Class Olympiad in Ukrainian Language and Literature and received diplomas for high results.
In order to involve students in shaping an Ukrainian-language educational environment, the student suggestion box “Have suggestions? Go ahead and propose!” was updated; it is designed to encourage students to express their own ideas and proposals for improving the language environment of the College.
All these events contribute to affirming the Ukrainian language in the educational environment, forming the national consciousness of student youth, developing language culture and cultivating respect for the native word.
