“2020 has become landmark for our university, as our higher education institution celebrates the 90th anniversary of its foundation at the state level, highlighting the 200-year-long history of education and science traditions. University students are young, hard-working, initiative and creative; they eagerly participate in scientific, educational and volunteering activities.

“Psychology and Pedagogy Department was created not so long ago, but we have already done a lot. Students will soon be able to study at specializations No. 053 Psychology and 012 Pre-School Education. The psychological studio “Way to Success” is functioning at the department, and during its meetings students and teachers discuss important issues of self-development and formation of a harmoniously developed personality. We are thankful for the possibility to join the event, and invite you to Poltava Polytechnic!” Svitlana Yalnaska said.

School students from Poltava and Kremenchuk took part in such sections of the event as “Safety Circle”, “Legal Quizzes”, “The Ways of Contracting AIDS”, “Myths and Facts about Health”.

The quest was initiated by Poltava Oblast Charitable Fund “Public Health” represented by Nataliia Zlatopolska, the Regional Center for Providing Free-of-Charge Secondary Legal Help in Poltava Oblast and other charitable organizations from Poltava and Kharkiv.
