Our project is a kind of contribution into the poem about stone. We also except you, dear Reader, to participate in it. We would be happy if you sent us your essays describing the unusual use of Russian translation the stone in man's life, for instance, in architecture, medicine, everyday life, art…We'll be looking forward to reading them. We also expect you to keep in touch with us if you get interested in participating in the further stages of the project "Ukraine through foreign students' eyes" and if you would like to receive a traineeship placement. Our next step is the project "Architecture and park monuments of Ukraine". Hope to hear from you soon!!! And see you! Sincerely Yours, National Secretary IAESTE Ukraine, Prof. Tamara Stryzhak DEAR READER, PROFESSOR SCHRÜFER “Professor Schrüfer has always been and will always remain the First Employer for the Ukrainian students. In 1991 he created the programme “Stipendienprogramm Ost”, which enabled the Ukrainian students of the independent Ukraine to receive their first practice placements in Germany. The interview taken by German journalist Katarina Bader is entiteled “Schrüfer’s List” on the analogy of the famous film “Shindler’s List” directed by Steven Spielberg. And the title reflects how important the traineeship was for the Ukrainian students in the first years of Ukraine’s Independence.”
