Karina Avramenko, one of the video authors, a student and deputy president of the Student Parliament of International European University, said that she decided to carry out the experiment after seeing a sticky situation. Coming home after classes, she saw how a foreign student asked pedestrians for money to get to a place of residence because his purse was stolen. It triggered her to initiate the shooting of a social video in order to raise a topic of good deeds, as it is, unfortunately, quite a rare phenomenon nowadays.
“Since childhood, parents have been teaching me to help others and not to leave someone to their fate. I always follow their advice and can’t ignore similar situations. Therefore, I try to help people facing difficulties if I have such a possibility,” Karina Avramenko states.
The video shows Geneva, a student from Nigeria, near the metro station, who addresses pedestrians asking for money for a trip because somebody has stolen his bag with all his stuff, including a purse, and he needs to get to the hotel where he lives. Geneva, without knowing the language, talked to passersby in English and asked them to help.
Thus, students of International European University appeal to other people not to ignore individuals who, in certain circumstances, are in trouble and become more kind. No one knows what you will face tomorrow.
The International European University was founded in Kyiv in 2019. The university has its own educational building at 16a Mahnitohorska Street in Kyiv. Ukraine and Austria are its co-founders.
The university specializes in teaching foreign students and Ukrainians, studying in scientific and educational institutions in seven areas: business schools, architectural and engineering, language, medical, IT, law and art schools.
The Council for Trade and Sustainable Development has selected two representatives of Ukraine to the Group of experts in accordance with Article 301 of the Ukraine-EU Association Agreement, thus Ukraine has completed the formation of its representatives in the Group, the Ministry of Economy reported on the website.
“Based on the results of the interviews with the candidates, two additional experts were selected by voting of the Council members. This allows us to fully form a pool of experts from the Ukrainian side and ensure the full work of the group by the end of this year,” the ministry said following the fifth meeting of the Council on Wednesday.
Additional recruitment of experts from Ukraine became a key issue of the meeting, the Ministry of Economy noted.
The ministry recalled that the expert Group should consist of 15 people: five each from Ukraine and the EU, as well as five people who are not citizens of any of the parties to the Agreement. The main task of the Group is to study any issue under Chapter 13 “Trade and Sustainable Development” of the Association Agreement between Ukraine and the EU, if this has not been satisfied through intergovernmental consultations.
Ukraine selected three experts during the fourth meeting of the Council, held in Kyiv in June 2019.
The approval of the full list of experts requires a decision by the Ukraine-EU subcommittee on trade and sustainable development, which is currently undergoing domestic approval procedures, the Economy Ministry added.
