"Computer Literacy" Graduation Highlights

Computer Literacy

Dear students of the "Computer Literacy" course! 💻✨

On behalf of the Ukrainian Centre in Pärnu, we sincerely thank you for your trust, participation, and support throughout the school year!

What began as a small two-month pilot project turned into a full-year journey of learning and growth. Together, we’ve made amazing progress:

  • Learned the basics of using a computer;
  • Explored the operating system and browser tools;
  • Got familiar with online services and useful applications;
  • And eventually — created our own digital projects! 🚀🌟

We are truly proud of each and every one of you!

Our graduation evening was full of warmth and joy. Even though there was a sudden power outage in the building, it didn’t stop us from celebrating!

Highlights of the party included:

  • 🎶 Music and laptops with your presentations;
  • 🍕 Pizza, 🍰 cake, and 🥤 sweet lemonade;
  • 🎁 Thoughtful gifts for our beloved teacher Alyona Karpova:
    • 🧦 Colorful floral-patterned socks,
    • 🕯️ A fragrant candle,
    • 🍪 Treats to enjoy with coffee.

It was a heartwarming and emotional evening that we’ll all remember. 💖

Exciting news: we’ll be back in September with an updated format! It’ll be even more engaging and professional. 🎓
Stay tuned for updates in late August! ✨

For now, we wish you a wonderful summer full of joy, relaxation, and inspiration.

🌟 Don’t miss our summer workshops — we might see you again very soon!

With love and appreciation,
Alyona Karpova — Course Instructor
Viktoriia Kuzmenko — Project Manager

    “Dzhereltse” – Ukrainian children’s vocal group in Pärnu ends the year on a high note!

    🎉 Hooray! It finally happened!
    Our wonderful vocal group "Dzhereltse", uniting Ukrainian children in Pärnu, has joyfully wrapped up the academic year and is heading into summer break — with songs in our hearts and smiles on our faces! ☀️
    Over the past eight amazing months, we’ve gone from magical Christmas concerts to energetic spring performances, covering the entire school year. We grew together — as a group, as friends, and as a creative family.
    New faces joined along the way, but the heart of the group remained strong, inspired, and full of energy.
    Thanks to our talented kids, concert halls light up, audiences feel every beat, and our songs become bridges between cultures. ❤️
    Estonian listeners love your voices, and that fuels our passion even more!
    We can’t wait to see you all again in September for a new season of professional rehearsals.
    You’re amazing, creative, and full of spirit!
    A special thank-you to Maryna Bykovets-Ratushna, the heart and soul of this group.
    With her dedication, time, and belief in us, she’s taught us to love both Ukrainian and Estonian songs, making the dream of a children’s choir in little Pärnu come true. 🎤
    Thank you to everyone who has supported us! And to those who wish to join — don’t hesitate!

    Meeting with Ene Täht: openness, support, and shared solutions 🇺🇦💙💛

    We sincerely thank Ms. Ene Täht and her assistant Helena Viks for their openness, support, and warm communication. In Estonia, everyone has the right to be heard — and we truly felt it.

    The meeting focused on key topics: education, kindergartens, language, housing, and legal support. It’s important that Ukrainian refugees now have equal rights in Estonia — to attend school, work, learn the language, receive medical insurance, and seek housing.

    We discussed issues like school enrollment and withdrawal, teaching Ukrainian language, difficulties faced by teens not attending school, and rental disputes. These problems are usually not about nationality, but human factors — something universal.

    We agreed to organize another legal meeting and create a Google form to collect info about employers to improve language course scheduling. The city also confirmed its help in finding kindergarten places during summer, and starting from September, plans full Estonian language immersion for grades 7–9 with added bilingual teachers.

    We ended the meeting on a positive note — sharing cultural experiences. Ukrainian dumplings, borscht, and songs have warmed Estonian hearts. Thank you to everyone — we are stronger together.
