Winners of the Online Flash Mob “TNMU Celebrates the Embroidery Day” Received Their Prizes

About 50 students and teachers took part in the online flash mob and photo contest “TNMU celebrates the Embroidery Day!”. It lasted at our university from 17 to 23 May, 2021. The winners were announced on May 24 on the official pages of social networks Facebook and Instagram. They received their prizes recently after the easing of quarantine in Ukraine.

The Embroidery Day is traditionally celebrated every year on the third Thursday in May. Before the pandemic, TNMU organized photo sessions of students and teachers in embroidered clothes every year on the occasion of this holiday. Due to quarantine restrictions, the Centre of Educational Work and Cultural Development offered a new format of celebration – an online flash mob and a contest “TNMU celebrates the Embroidery Day!” (#вишиванкаТНМУ).

Anyone could take part in this event. The staff of the department, a student group or a person in embroidered clothes should have taken a picture, make a short description of the photo and tell an interesting story related to the embroidered clothes, send a photo to the e-mail address of the centre with the names of all the people in the photo.

The winners were chosen in the following nominations: group photo of the department staff, a group of students; portrait male photo; portrait female photo.

Each photo and story was published in a post on the official pages of TNMU Facebook and Instagram. Likes, comments, distribution (redirects on Instagram) were taken into account. That all was summed up

So the winners were: the staff of the Department of Histology and Embryology (department staff group photo), Sajid Khan, Devarajulu Mariyappan, Muhammed Fijaz, Mohammed Mehsab, Ashik Biju (students group photo), Sajid Khan (male portrait photo), Professor Larisa Fedoniuk, the Head of the Department of Medical Biology (female portrait photo). Sofia Borodaiko received a special prize for the author’s embroidered shirt; this photo also received many votes and brought the 2^nd place for the girl.

Professor Mykhaylo Korda, the Rector of TNMU, congratulated the winners and presented them the gifts. He also noted that he highly appreciated the way the university teachers and students follow the Ukrainian traditions.

The Centre for Educational Work and Cultural Development appreciates assistance in awarding the winners by the TNMU trade union and its chairman Petro Lykhatskyi.
