I’m Tetiana from Ukraine, born in 2005. I am currently based in Trento, Italy, where I study European and International law. I’ve always been drawn to how systems and people interact, how policies shape daily lives, and how empathy can sometimes achieve what institutions can’t. Growing up in Ukraine and later living abroad taught me to look at the world through movement and adaptation – between places, languages, and ideas. I’m fascinated by Europe not only as a legal project, but as a living experiment in coexistence.
The Farmont Summer School was one of those rare moments when learning felt alive–ideas carried by conversation and the rhythm of the sea. Between discussions on deck and evenings spent sharing stories, I found a sense of clarity about what truly connects people: curiosity, sincerity, and courage to listen. It reminded me that cooperation begins long before policy – it begins in how we approach one another.
Beyond my studies, I love climbing, reading, spending time in nature, and moments that challenge comfort –whether it’s climbing a mountain, debating a difficult idea, or learning a new skill. I keep searching for experiences that make me both think and feel more deeply about the world.
“The sea carried more than the boat – it carried conversations, ideas, lots of laughs and the quiet belief that curiosity can connect people beyond borders.”
