The participants of the holiday are students of the specialty “English language and literature (philology)” (groups 303, 401 and 402) and the specialty “English language and literature (translation)” (group 402). Therefore, for them this event was an excellent opportunity to demonstrate not only their creative abilities and acting talents, but also to confirm the high level of proficiency in the second, German, language.

Also, two interns of the Faculty of Economics (Viktoriia Bielik and Dariia Synooka) agreed to join the students of the history department in agreement with the heads of the practice.
