The project proposed by the Foreign languages department “Intercultural Communication” has won funding in the Pitching of projects at Sumy State University. The presentation of creative initiatives was held by the student-self-governing office of Sumy State University alongside with The British Council (Ukraine). The authors of the project are instructors of the Foreign languages department Svitlana Mikhno, Viktoriia Kurochkina, Svitlana Zolotova and the students of the Language Centre scientific laboratory Kateryna Korzh, Oleksandra Tveresovska, Kateryna Shamkalo, Iryna Shvetsova, Stanislav Smolenko, Illia Sovenko, Diana Kozlova and others.

The project aims at providing students, instructors and schoolchildren with information and skills necessary for successful intercultural communication in a foreign language (English). The events included in the project are going to help avoid isolation from other cultures as well as overcome the difficulties arising in the process of communication with representatives of a different culture and native speakers, and enhance intercultural tolerance.
