The event was initiated by the Primary Education Department and the Dolyna Consultation Centre.

The lecture was delivered by Marharyta Kostiantynivna Puhachenko, PhD in Philosophy (speciality 023 “Fine Arts, Decorative Arts, Restoration”), winner of the national “Charitable Ukraine 2021” competition for her volunteer work in the field of art, and a 2026 scholarship recipient of the Goethe-Institut in Ukraine.

The lecturer’s professional and academic interests include the history of decorative art; art glass and glass jewellery; Ukraine’s cultural heritage; intercultural influences in decorative art; visual culture and artistic practices of memory; contemporary artistic and performance practices; and feminism.

During the lecture, Marharyta Puhachenko spoke about her literary work, recited her fairy tales, outlined the distinctive features of the new Crimean fairy tale, and shared her thoughts on ways of presenting this genre to different age groups, both in Ukraine and abroad.

Teachers and students at the Bachelor’s and Master’s levels in Primary Education, Preschool Education, Special Education, Psychology, and Social Work and Counselling actively participated in the discussion. They asked questions and received comprehensive and sincere answers.

We thank Ms Puhachenko for an exceptionally interesting and unconventional lecture and for the creative collaboration.
