September 19-22, 2019 Ivano-Frankivsk was fortunate to host the “Ring of European Cities of Iron Works” assembly and to welcome delegations from 7 countries. The students of the Foreign Languages Department of Vasyl Stefanyk Precarpathian National University had the chance to participate in the organization process and to help the City council with establishing communication between the guests and the hosts. Our students were responsible for specific delegations/delegates or events that were taking place during the 3-day visit. Yulia Lesiv (СО А-34) was guiding visitors from the Netherlands and Spain, Yulia Demchuk (СО А-34) and Karolina Anhela (Н-31) were providing their delegates from Germany with translations into English and German. Denis Fedorenko (Н-31) was guided the German. Iryna Buchynska (Нм-11) and Oleksandr Goliuk (Ам-11) were interpreting at the Reserving of the Cultural Heritage council – an event for representatives from each delegation. Some of the students used this chance as their first interpretation experience, the others on the other hand gained more knowledge and enhanced their skills in their professional field. The assembly also provided an opportunity of cultural and educational exchanges between the countries, universities and people. All of the students did their best and are eager to be involved in similar events more often.
