I am convinced that this unexpected change of the usual way of life is a chance to find new opportunities for your own self-improvement

Dear students!

Now we are all together passing the test on flexibility of thinking and being able to answer new challenges. It is important to be ready to take advantage of opportunities that arise in such a time of change. Your creativity and ability to easily and quickly adapt to different circumstances will help you succeed.

I am sure that we will come up with new solutions in this situation. Today we have the opportunity to analyze the approach to teaching and to complement the usual forms of learning with innovative tools. Together, we can organize the best way to get an education based on new experience.

I am glad that together we managed to quickly adapt to the new learning environment and not to waste valuable time. I am convinced that this unexpected change of the usual way of life is a chance to find new opportunities for self-improvement as well as to see how important self-organization, creativity and strategic thinking are.

I know that many of you find time not only to study, but also to support those in need and to help them get through tough times. I am proud that Lviv Polytechnic students organize volunteer groups and join initiatives in their hometowns and villages. Today, an awareness of shared responsibility is what will help us meet the challenges.

It is important for each of you to try to come out of this situation more mature and with a clear awareness of your role in the process of creating new models of interaction, getting education and finding mechanisms of interaction in society that will help us become stronger.
