Tetiana Blinova and Alina Ovchenko, specialists in NURE accessibility service, took 2nd place in the International Inclusive Competition “Touch Points” – 2025. The girls presented the information and illustration work “THREE HIGH FIVE” at the Technical University.

The main message of the Competition: “From knowing yourself to uniting in knowing others”.

The International Inclusive Competition “Touch Points” was held from 22 March to 22 May 2025 as part of the celebration of the 150th anniversary of Yuriy Fedkovych Chernivtsi National University.

This year’s event brought together 155 participants worldwide: Ukraine, Georgia, Armenia, and the USA. These educators, teachers, and professors are creating a new inclusive reality through their actions, projects, and sincere stories. They shared not just their best practices, but a part of their souls, the voice of their hearts, and a vision of the future where everyone is accepted, supported, and heard.

The Competition brought together the best inclusive practices, ideas and initiatives to create an open, accessible and diversity-sensitive society.

Inclusion is not only about access, but also about dignity, respect and opportunities for everyone.

Of particular value is the interaction between people with special educational needs, teachers and students without disabilities – it is in this space that proper understanding, partnership and support are born. Such interaction breaks down barriers, changes minds and opens the way to a university community where everyone has the right to be heard and included.
