Liliia is a genuine language enthusiast with a keen interest in politics, history, international affairs, and journalism. To this end, she graduated from the Київський національний університет iменi Тараса Шевченка (Kyiv National University named after Taras Shevchenko) majoring in English and German Studies. Inspired by the variety of youth exchanges in which she has participated, Liliia co-founded Ukraine’s office of the non-profit organisation GFPS (Community for Student Exchange in Central and Eastern Europe) with an aim of promoting student exchanges with Germany, Poland, Czech Republic, and Belarus. In 2020 she attained a scholarship from the Free State of Bavaria to study journalism at the Summer School of the University of Bayreuth, which only reinforced her dream of becoming an international journalist, covering Ukrainian affairs for German-and English-speaking media. Committed to the cause of promoting European values in her home country and enhancing Ukraine’s international image abroad, Liliia firmly believes that her strong writing abilities and avid interest in European politics will help her to act as an effective communicator. Liliia aims to bring Ukraine and the European Union closer together through her role as a Young European Ambassador.
