In two cities — Kyiv and Dnipro, celebrations were held for the graduates of Bakhmut. Even in times when the hometown is destroyed by war, the traditions of Bakhmut continue to live: thanks to the initiative of the Department of Education with the support of the Bakhmut City Military Administration, a graduation event "With Bakhmut in the Heart" took place, which became a true symbol of unity, memory, and support for the children of the Bakhmut community.
The celebration was attended by graduates from various corners of Ukraine and the world, striving to return the feeling of home, even for a moment. Thanks to modern technologies, it was possible to connect two locations into a single space, and the warm welcoming words of the head of the Bakhmut City Military Administration, Oleksiy Reva, were heard simultaneously for all Bakhmut graduates, their parents, and teacher-mentors.
The best students of the 11th grades, following the established tradition, received memorable "golden hearts" and named medals. The graduates were addressed by defenders of Ukraine, teachers, parents, and well-known local personalities. Their words became a sincere farewell, support, and confirmation that Bakhmut lives in the heart of everyone.
The festive meeting was made possible thanks to the support of the Novopecherska School in Kyiv and the Alfred Nobel University in Dnipro. It brought emotions that will remain in memory for a lifetime: the joy of communication, tears of happiness, loud laughter, and an unbreakable sense of unity. This celebration once again proved: Bakhmut is in the heart of everyone. And this community is unbreakable.
