SUSK SUPPORTS ENGLISH LANGUAGE EDUCATION IN TERNOPIL, UKRAINE

 

            The Ukrainian Canadian Students’ Union (SUSK) supported an English language education program in Ternopil, Ukraine, led by SUSK alumnus Taras Maluzynsky (Vice-President Prairies, 1981-1983).

            Taras is an experienced teacher from Winnipeg, Manitoba. Over the last two years, Taras has been spending part of his summers in Ternopil, Ukraine, where he teaches children English. This year’s course ran from July 14 through to August 1. As a side-project of the SUSK “Hope/Надія” Shevchenko t-shirt initiative, we partnered to ensure SUSK Shevchenko t-shirts were part of Taras’ English language program.

            Children aged 6-15 participated in the English language program, which is offered free-of-charge at the Ternopil Children’s Library #5. Participants learned English through interactive lessons, including speaking, listening, reading, writing, viewing, representing, singing, and physical education. A special initiative had children preparing letters, making drawings, and creating “motanka” dolls for soldiers in Eastern Ukraine. At the end of the course, parents were invited to a concert, showcasing their children’s successes. Local dignitaries and journalists were on-hand to take in the August 1 event.

            SUSK is very proud to establish yet another connection with the student community of Ukraine. We look forward to future collaborative projects with students in Ukraine and with the SUSK alumni community.
