Open Lesson Dedicated to Defender of the Fatherland Day

On May 6, first-year students of the Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics held an open class dedicated to Defender of the Fatherland Day, which is celebrated annually on May 7. This important date symbolizes strength, courage, and loyalty to the homeland, as well as deep respect for those who safeguard the peace and security of the country.

The lesson took place in the format of an open dialogue, with active participation from all students. The central themes of discussion were the concept of the homeland, civic duty, and the value of peaceful skies above. Students reflected on what defending the country means in today's world, who the true heroes of our time are, and what forms of service to the nation are possible — not only through military duty but also through work, science, education, and volunteerism.

Particular attention was given to the topics of patriotism, preserving historical memory, and strengthening peace. Many participants shared personal stories and family memories related to military service and heroic acts.

The open class was held in a warm and sincere atmosphere, turning into a thoughtful and meaningful conversation. The event contributed to the development of civic consciousness, respect for the country’s defenders, and the strengthening of unity and responsibility among the students.
