An essay contest on the topic “Peace and us in a troubled world” brought together students from the Faculty of Law and History of the Neophyte Rilski State University.
The best essay according to the jury, chaired by Prof. Anna Choleva-Dimitrova, Ph.D., lecturer at the Faculty of Law and History and head of the Onomastics Section at the Institute of Bulgarian Language at the BAS, was the work of Valentina Petkova, a student from first year of the “Public Relations” major. The book “On the Inevitable Accident” by the best modern Bulgarian essayist Ivan Landzhev, a certificate of participation and gifts from the Southwest University “Neofit Rilski” was awarded to the freshman, according to which “we cannot take peace for granted. It is like a flower – fragile, needing a lot of care and light, but smelling nice. Handsome. Each one of us must obtain a seed from this flower and sow it carefully and diligently in our soul. Because change has to start from within. Because each one of us is important for the general situation of the environment in which it thrives, in which it is located. It’s the little things, the little steps that matter the most. A drop overflows the cup…”
Second place in the competition was awarded to Alexander Chaushev, third prize went to Petya Shopova, also students from the “Public Relations” specialty.
The essay contest is held annually on a topical, thought-provoking topic close to young people. The goal is for students to express their civic position, their thoughts and feelings, through their skills in creating an author’s original text.
The event is traditionally held with the assistance of the Communication Center at the Faculty of Law and History of the Neofit Rilski State University.
