On March 11, 2024, students of the 1st group of the 3rd year of the Faculty of History and Philology and the curator T.Y. Bandura held an online seminar "The trails of Shevchenko's creativity". With this event, the participants honored the memory of Veliky Kobzar on the occasion of the 210th anniversary of the artist's birth. Philology students showed deep respect for Shevchenko's genius by preparing a meaningful presentation about the writer's multi-genre work, his painting achievement. Young admirers of the poet's talent recited poems, showing a remarkable ability to convey the emotions, experiences, and feelings of the lyrical hero of Shevchenko's poetry. In this way, the organizers and participants made their contribution to a conscious act of national and patriotic self-identification, whose ideas were voiced by Taras Hryhorovych Shevchenko - the honor and pride of the Ukrainian people.
