Writing the National Unity Radio Dictation: Synchrony of Offline and Online Participation

On October 27, 2025, in celebration of the Day of Ukrainian Writing and Language, the traditional National Unity Radio Dictation once again took place — a symbol of cohesion and love for the native word.

Teachers and students of the Faculty of Physical Culture, Sports, and Human Health at Berdyansk State Pedagogical University joined the nationwide initiative, participating both on campus (in Zaporizhzhia) and online.

This year, part of the participants wrote the dictation offline. Among those present were Natalia Kryvun, Deputy Dean for Educational Affairs, as well as students majoring in Choreography (024) and Performing Arts (B6).

Those who joined online were united in a shared virtual meeting moderated by Lyudmyla Konovalska, Deputy Dean for Academic and Methodological Work. She emphasized that the Radio Dictation is not only a test of knowledge but also an opportunity for everyone to feel part of a large community united by the Ukrainian language.

The dictation took place in a warm and inspiring atmosphere. Participants shared their impressions, discussed challenging spelling cases, and once again reaffirmed that love for one’s native language is what truly unites us.

The National Unity Radio Dictation is not just a tradition — it is a genuine celebration of the Ukrainian word that inspires and reminds us every year: unity begins with language!
