Our IER students are creative and imaginative individuals.
In November-December 2023, the teachers of the department, PhD Svitlana Tarasenko and PhD Wojciech Duranowski, within the framework of the discipline “International Business” with the support of the Polish public organization FEIBE (Fundacja Eastern Institute of Business Education) held a digital poster competition among second-year students.
The task of the competition was to create a digital poster that would motivate students majoring in International Economic Relations to create and test creative/entrepreneurial ideas.
The winners of the competition are:
1️⃣st place – Anton Zhuravka, post “Your ideas – Our global impact”.
Ukrainian identity (a palette of colours and symbols of Ukrainian identity). The globe is a symbol of Ukraine’s place in the world. A girl and a boy create a joint initiative (symbolized by a light bulb) and influence the development of the world. The logos of Sumy State University and the Department of International Economic Relations emphasize the environment where ideas are created.
2️⃣nd place – Anastasia Petrova, post “Be young and innovative: create, change and develop”.
A student, as a symbol of students in general, is creating an idea at a computer at night (a laptop as a symbol of mobility, the ability to create an idea at any time, even at night). The flow of light symbolises that everyone has equal opportunities and chances to realize their ideas and influence the future. The logo of Sumy State University (as an environment for forming and realising ideas). Blue colour as an association with the color identity of Sumy State University.
3️⃣rd place – Valeria Kuchkova, post “Monetize your idea”.
Create and monetize ideas – a call to international students. Entrepreneur Ihor Kharytonenko as a symbol of business success. A hand with books is a symbol of university knowledge, a hand with a light bulb is a symbol of an idea, and a third hand with banknotes symbolizes the cash flow from implementing an idea.
Other posters were dedicated to the following ideas:
Anastasia Shimoshenko:
An idea formed by a student shapes the future of international business and, consequently, cash flows. Scrooge McDuck as a symbol of wealth;
By taking the time to formulate an idea (symbolised by a light bulb), students of International Economic Relations can influence the development of the world (symbolised by the planet Earth) and the future (symbolised by a robot);
international economic relations: where ideas become reality.
Diana Shevchenko:
International economic relations are about big dreams and student development. Discover opportunities in the community of international students by improving your skills and creating ideas.
Valeriia Kuchkova:
International students are the builders of their country and the future. The future depends on the ideas students generate and implement today. The light bulb is a symbol of an idea, the building is the Institute of Business, Economics and Management of Sumy State University.
Anton Zhuravka:
The call to students is to shape the markets of the future by creating and implementing ideas in Ukraine (light bulb as a symbol of an idea, geographical outlines of Ukraine on the globe as a symbol of the place where the idea was formed, girl and boy as a symbol of students).
The winners received incentives from the Fundacja Eastern Institute of Business Education, while other participants received additional points in the subject.
We thank all the participants for their hard work and creativity.
