The issue of building a private technical university near the City Park has been discussed. The Mayor stressed that it is important for him to hear the views of all parties in this matter. He is ready to become a guarantor of constructive discussion between the public, experts and business.
‘Today we see that the topic of building a new technical university is causing discussion. A constructive dialogue is important in this matter. The key for us is new opportunities for young people and the revival of the historical appearance of the City Garden,’ Vadym Boichenko stressed.
Representatives of education, the heads of four lyceums of the city, supported the initiative to open a new technical university on the site of an old, dilapidated building near the City Garden. Those present noted that this will open up new opportunities for Mariupol youth. They also emphasized the importance of the dialogue between schools and higher educational institutions, which will create a single educational space in the city.
‘This project is important for our students. It allows them to see perspectives in their hometown. At the same time, Mariupol will be able to become a student city,’ the director of the Technological Lyceum Viktoria Bondareva noted.
The representatives of the historical community noted the importance of preserving the features of the City Garden. Vadym Boichenko supported the proposal to classify important historical buildings in the adjacent territory as cultural heritage sites. In conclusion, the Mayor announced an initiative to hold a series of panel discussions, which will discuss all issues related to the construction of a new university and the revival of the park.
‘I am sure that together we can find the right solution, when we have a common goal - the development of Mariupol. This is our home and we all want our city to become better,’ Vadym Boichenko concluded.
