On October 22, 2020, the Ambassador of the Federal Republic of Germany to Ukraine, Mrs. Anka Feldguzen, and our Assistant Defense Attaché, Karen Haas, visited our institute.

The guests walked through the corridors of the school, saw how much the institute has changed during the six years of its stay in Bakhmut. The director of the institute EM Belitska told about the dynamics of the changes that took place. Ms. Ambassador expressed her sincere impression of the pace and quality of the ongoing restoration work. Particular attention was paid to our library, which, in particular, collected the latest educational publications in English, German, French, Spanish.

At a meeting with students and teachers who were not afraid of quarantine restrictions and came to talk to Ambassador Anka Feldguzen, our guest shared his experience of life before and after the appointment of the Ambassador of Germany to Ukraine. Students, in turn, asked numerous questions about relations between Ukraine and Germany, the EU, the experience of student self-government of the Ambassador, the development of Ukrainian society, and the unification of Germany, the future of youth in Ukraine, educational exchanges… Interesting and easy the conversation passed very quickly, there was a cozy atmosphere of friendly conversation in the hall. At the end of the meeting, the Ambassador even agreed to become the Ambassador of the Horlivka Institute of Foreign Languages in relations with German educators! We are sure that on October 22 we witnessed the beginning of a new page of friendship between the Horlivka Institute of Foreign Languages and the Embassy of the Federal Republic of Germany in Ukraine!
