On April 15, 2025, in the library of Ushynsky University, on the occasion of Poetry Day, a meeting of the students of the Faculty of History and Philology and the teachers of the Department of Ukrainian and Foreign Literature with the famous Ukrainian poet, member of the National Union of Writers Viktor Stelmakh took place. The participants of the event had the opportunity to immerse themselves in the world of modern Ukrainian poetry, hear the author's readings and learn more about the artist's life and creative path. A lively discussion, discussion of literary topics and personal communication with the poet inspired students to further study the literary heritage and develop their own creative abilities. The atmosphere of the event was complemented by live musical accompaniment performed by Nazarii Varyvoda, a student of A.V. Nezhdanova Odesa National Academy of Music. This format of meetings is important for forming the cultural environment of the faculty and supporting interest in Ukrainian literature.
