199 Pages of Berdyansk”: BSPU Students and Faculty United for an Interactive Lecture

An interactive university-wide lecture titled “199 Pages of Berdyansk: Through the Breath of History,” dedicated to the glorious Priazovye city and its indomitable spirit, was held at Berdyansk State Pedagogical University.

The event was co-organized and hosted by Yulia Deryabina, Deputy Dean for Educational Work and Senior Lecturer at the Department of Physics, Mathematics and Teaching Methods of the FFMPTE, and Daria Tonkykh, Acting Head of the Student Council of the FFMPTE and 3rd-year student in “Secondary Education (Mathematics).” The online meeting brought together over 100 participants — students, faculty, and friends of BSPU.

The patriotic event began with an atmospheric video and the performance of the National Anthem of Ukraine. Attendees immersed themselves in the rich history of Berdyansk — from its founding on the spit, the emergence of the first port trestle, and the construction of the lower lighthouse, to achieving county status and the development of Schmidt Park next to the university’s main building.

Special attention was given to the city’s resort landmarks, original sculptures along the waterfront, as well as challenging pages of trials — from World War II to the modern resistance of Berdyansk residents during the 2022 occupation. Participants observed a minute of silence to honor the memory of fallen Heroes among BSPU faculty who gave their lives for the independence of Ukraine.

Interactive rebuses and a quiz on the Genially platform became the highlight of the meeting, during which participants actively demonstrated their knowledge and erudition about their native region. The event once again proved that education, knowledge, and the unity of the BSPU community overcome any distance and challenges.
