People say, "What we have – for that we do not care, and losing – we become upset," or "You know its price, when you lose it." This became even clearer during the coronavirus pandemic, when students, who often whined in the morning about the need to rush to class, now complain that there is no need to go to university… But, fortunately, the era of information technology provides many opportunities for meetings, consulting, training and self-development. This is what was discussed at the meeting of the department of cultural studies, which took place this week in the remote mode

Colleagues were glad to see each other healthy, full of inspiration, so with pleasure and healthy humor shared the experience of conducting classes in the remote mode, achievements in creative work, methods of remote career guidance.

Associate professor of the department, honored artist of Ukraine Roman Antonovych Rudyi remembered that musicians from all over the world make videos with works about the pandemic. Thus, Mexico's smash hit La Cumbia del Coronairus – Mister Cumbia has garnered over 41,000 likes on YouTube.
