The life of Ukrainian youth

1.

2.

Nowadays when our independent
state Ukraine is developing, much
attention is paid to our youth.

3.

The desire of our young people to
become qualified specialists in
future motivates them to enter
higher educational establishments.

4.

For young people higher education
is the method of developing their
talents and abilities, their creative
potential.

5.

That is why beside their studies
they are also engaged in different
clubs and organizations.
Almost every school or institute has
its own team of “joyful and smart”
(KVN).

6.

This game is rather popular among
our young people and it helps
them to bring out their brightest
talents and to create team spirit.

7.

Young people learn to work
together, to share the moments of
luck and failure. Besides studies
young people are also engaged in
scientific and research work. One
may say that nowadays this sphere
is not paid too much attention to.

8.

This is true, but still there exist
“Young Scientists’ Councils”, where
young people can discuss or present
their scientific investigations.
There also exists the Ukrainian
branch of youth organization
Greenpeace in Ukraine.

9.

Young people learn to love their
land and the world that surrounds
them. This organization protests
against environmental pollution,
against extermination of all
animals, not only rare species.

10.

Some young people work in their
church organizations: they help
elderly people, reconstruct our
historical monuments and
monasteries. This work brings them
closer to our history, teaches them
to love their country and respect its
past.

11.

A lot of young people go in for
sports, that is why schools and
institutes have sport clubs and
teams.

12.

Our young people are especially
interested in football, basketball,
hockey, etc.

13.

There also exists a great variety of
different clubs in this country.

14.

They are: theatre clubs, where
young people stage different
literary works; clubs “What?
Where? When?”, where they can
enlarge their knowledge in
different fields of science and life,
and so on.

15.

Future belongs to the young, that
is why the political life of this
country is important to them.

16.

Many young people are engaged in
political parties and organizations
such as: “the greens”, the Union of
Ukrainian Youth, the Scouts.
