Love is the most beautiful feeling that accompanies us always and everywhere. Today we live in conditions of uncertainty, stress and constant anxiety. But despite this, people fall in love, support each other, and give positive emotions.
That is why, as part of the activities of the student intercultural club “Opening the Borders,” with the assistance of the International and Project Department of IUEH, the International Online Contest “St. Valentine's Day” was organized, which started in February 2025. In addition to IUEH students and pupils from Ukraine, participants from educational institutions in Turkey, Japan, Poland, Colombia and the USA joined the contest. The contestants realized their cultural and artistic potential, conveyed their feelings and emotions in posters, postcards and handmade works - all 54 works are collected in a virtual art gallery that will touch your heart and promote peace in your soul.
The winners were selected in three categories over 3 days in an anonymous audience vote, which was attended by students and teachers from educational institutions in 6 countries, and a specialized jury consisting of Alina Kruhliak (Ukraine), Natalia Nisanoglu (Turkey), Hanna Brdyś (Poland), Diana Carolina Ortiz Bravo (Colombia), Kiminori Hirai (Japan), and Heidi Risley (USA)..
