The festivities began with pantomime play, performed by graduates. Afterwards, guests had the opportunity to get acquainted with the graduates and life on the program through the film - summary of learning.

In welcoming speech to graduates spoke: Oksana Vyniarska, educational director of the certificate program “Medical-psychological and social support for people with special needs," Oksana Mahura - community leader of "L'Arche" in Ukraine and also teachers of the program Nina Haiduk and Oleh Romanchuk.

Oksana Vuniarska summarized the results of the study during a year: “We’ve lived trough those 9 months and that life was rich, beautiful and colorful. And each finish in fact is a start. We have finished together and now each of us has a new start into life. So live, rejoice life, give and take and be glad.”

The honorary guest of the event was Michele Dormal, director of the educational program for assistants of the French department of the International Federation "L'Arche," coordinator and supervisor on the certificate program “Medical-psychological and social support for people with special needs" in Ukraine from IF "L'Arche."

“After graduation at times it is a little bit hard, because it’s like a seed that falls into the ground and everything seems to stop, but life shows up later; so let this seed fall to the ground and it will grow into something new. That will be another new life which awaits you…But don’t hurry too much; the seed needs time to grow through” - stressed Michele Dormal.

The event was organized by the Institute of Ecumenical Studies.
