Happy birthday, Taras!

Today it is 211 years since the birth of the Great Kobzar – Taras Hryhorovych Shevchenko. He is called a prophet, a genius, a symbol of Ukraine, and his words continue to inspire generations of Ukrainians.

Shevchenko did not just write – he raised consciousness, called to fight for truth and freedom. His lines, written a century ago, sound as sharp and relevant today as they did during his lifetime.

"Study, my brothers, think, read..." – these words of the Kobzar are especially important in our time, when education, knowledge and consciousness form a strong nation. They remind us that true freedom begins with reason, critical thinking and love for our native culture.

In every educational institution where his words are heard, a new generation of Ukrainians is being raised – strong, free, unbreakable.
