Presentation
During the event, the course graduates not only received certificates, but were also asked random questions in Slovak that even the teachers did not know about. After receiving thoughtful, unprepared answers, representatives of the AK Charitable Foundation were convinced that the training was conducted at a sufficiently high level and the children, if they wished, could well continue their studies at schools and universities in Slovakia.
Guests
The event was visited by the Mayor of Uzhgorod - Bohdan Andreev. He congratulated the children on the completion of the course and on Children's Day, thanked the representatives of the iCan school, the AK Foundation and the teachers present for organizing the study of the Slovak language, and expressed hope for further cooperation.

Gifts
One of the pleasant traditions was the exchange of gifts. This time, the AK Foundation, together with the Elist Publishing House, added books in Slovak to the shelves of the two libraries. Now the Uzhgorod Public Library and the Transcarpathian Regional Library for Children and Youth have something to read in Slovak.
After the official part of the event, representatives of the AK Foundation, iCan School and Ukrainian-Slovak Business Agency informally discussed with the teachers plans to improve and organize the next Slovak language courses for children in Uzhgorod.
We look forward to a long, comprehensive and fruitful collaboration.
We would like to express our deepest gratitude to: the iCan School, the Ukrainian-Slovak Business Agency, the Uzhgorod City Council, and also: the teaching team headed by Olesya Budnikova for their help in implementing the project.
We hope for a long, comprehensive and fruitful cooperation.
