Maksym Kozytskyi, head of the Lviv OVA, was one of the first to familiarize himself with the products of the fair.

“I thank the public organization Junior Achievement Ukraine, which, in cooperation with the Department of Education and Science of the Lviv Regional State Administration and the vocational and technical schools of Lviv Oblast and Bukovyna, creates for our youth the opportunity not only to produce products, but also to present and sell them during their studies.

The sooner this method of education becomes the All-Ukrainian norm, the more enterprising people there will be in our country, the more jobs with decent salaries there will be. The faster we will restore and bring our economy to a new level.

I congratulate all students and teachers on this important step. Thanks to our partners. I wish that this project will cover all regions of our country as soon as possible,” he said.

Visitors to the Fair who are interested in souvenir products can purchase embroidered keychains, paired notebooks and paired themed keychains, eco-notebooks with scented pages, carnival masks, brooches, chevrons, chokers, pendants, plaster figurines.
