KSU and KNUIA held the All-Ukrainian Readers' Competition.
From the Carpathians to the Black Sea, the voice of young Ukraine resounds! On April 28, 2026, the II All-Ukrainian recitation contest «Voice of Young Ukraine» took place in in-person and remote formats, organized by the Department of Culture and Arts of Kherson State University together with the Department of Performing Arts and Choreography of Vasyl Stefanyk Carpathian National University.
This year, the competition brought together 27 participants (12 — in person, 17 — remotely) from different corners of Ukraine: Kherson, Ivano-Frankivsk, Kyiv, and Zaporizhzhia. Sincere emotions, depth of word, and the power of artistic reading created a special atmosphere of unity and creative inspiration.
It is particularly important that during the competition, it was possible to raise funds to support our defenders — the AFU warriors of the Kherson direction. Culture unites, inspires, and supports!
