In February, the Law Faculty held a meeting of the Mediation Center dedicated to the International Mother Language Day and the Day of the state emblem of Ukraine.
A student of the PR-106 group, Viktoria Komanetska, revealed the history of the holiday, noting that on February, 21 representatives of all nations and peoples of the world celebrate the International Mother Language Day. The holiday was established in November 1999 at the thirtieth session of the UNESCO General conference in Paris. The student noted that the native language is an important element of cultural consciousness for every person. It accumulates the traditions and experience of previous generations and allows you to pass them on to descendants. Language is the history of a people, its worldview, and the intellectual and spiritual result of the evolution of each ethnic group. Without its own language, its own unique culture, there is no people.
Marina Kontseva, a student of the PR-302 group, studied the history of the day of the state emblem of Ukraine. This day began to be celebrated since February 19, 1992, when the resolution of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine approved one of the four state symbols of Ukraine-the small state emblem in the form of a trident. The trident as the state symbol of Ukraine was not chosen by chance, because it is associated with our millennial state, political and cultural history. A kind of "business card" of any country is its national symbols. Together with the Constitution, flag and anthem, it is an integral part of the official symbols of Ukraine, which Ukrainians should honor.
Patriotic events form the younger generation's cognitive interest in the historical past of our state and national consciousness.
