Language Lab is hosting a free online Speaking Club on Aug. 23 to mark Ukraine's 35th Independence Day, the eve of Ukraine's significant national holiday. The Act of Declaration of Independence was adopted by the Verkhovna Rada on August 24, 1991, following a failed coup in Moscow. This year, the anniversary will be commemorated under martial law, with scaled-back official events in Ukraine, but the day holds even greater meaning for the Ukrainian diaspora as it symbolizes endurance.
The Language Lab's session will blend language practice with personal reflection, allowing participants to discuss vocabulary related to independence and national identity, share their own experiences, and connect with a global community of learners. The event will be held on Zoom from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. Kyiv time, with the Zoom link sent out after registration.
It is open to learners of all levels and organizers are encouraging participants to invite friends or anyone interested in joining.
