The well-known Ukrainian poet, prose writer, translator, essayist Yurii Andrukhovych will read his own text written for the XXI Radio Dictation of National Unity live. According to the board member of the National Public Television and Radio Company of Ukraine, responsible for the radio platform and project manager Dmytro Khorkin, it was Yurii Andrukhovych, who radio listeners often advised to choose for this year’s dictation as the author and reader of the text.
For the second time Larysa Masenko, Professor of the Ukrainian Language Department of the Kyiv Mohyla Academy, a leading researcher at the Institute of the Ukrainian Language of the NAS of Ukraine, became a scientific consultant of the project.
This year, Ukrainian Radio will become a platform for public dialogue – public deliberations on language issues will be taking place during the week before the All-Ukrainian Radio Dictation of National Unity project is aired. In particular, language legislation and language quotas will be discussed. The topic of radio dictation will be announced soon.
The participants’ works will be accepted in online and offline formats. The dictation should be written by hand on a sheet of paper that can be photographed. After the dictation, everyone can send their works to the Ukrainian Radio email: rd@ukr.radio.
For convenience, the organizers have prepared an electronic form for receiving works, so you can send a dictation using any gadget. It will be made public on the ukr.radio website on November 9. All submitted works will be checked by a special professional commission.
The paper letter should be sent to the address: Kyiv, Khreshchatyk Street, 26, 01001, “Ukrainian Radio”, “Radio Dictation” (the date of sending must be stamped no later than on November 10).
The deadline for sending the finished text is astronomical day.
After the text of the dictation is published on the Ukrainian Radio website on November 11, e-mails will not be accepted.
The results will be announced within 1-2 months, depending on the number of letters received. The participants of the action, who will write the dictation without any mistakes, will receive gift sets from the project partners.
Organizers invite Ukrainians to tell on social platforms about their preparation for the all-Ukrainian action, to submit photos or texts on the Internet with the thematic hashtag #радіодиктант2021 (#radiodictation2021).
