It will traditionally be handed over the Stanisław Vincenz Prize “For Humanistic Service and a Contribution to Regional Development”. This year, the awards will be held on December 4, in Lviv, at the Frank House. The organizers are convinced: it is symbolic.
“This year’s awarding of the Stanisław Vincenz Prize in Lviv at the Frank House is not accidental. The first monument to the poet in the world was erected by Stanisław Vincenz in Sloboda-Rungurska in the present-day Ivano-Frankivsk region near his house. And he wrote “I believe in the power of the spirit”. This, indeed, inspires and serves as a special example in difficult times of trials.” – said the initiator of the Via Carpatia Forum – Mykola Kniazhytskyi.
The purpose of the award is to honor work for the benefit of society in the humanitarian field.
This year, the prize will be awarded to a volunteer, paramedic, commander of the Taira Angels unit Yuliia Paievska “Taira”.
As part of the form will also take place presentation of the Ukrainian translation of Stanisław Vincenz’s book “Dialogues with the Soviets”, which the author wrote after the Second World War in exile. He recreated and reflected on his experience in the years 1939-1941 – the arrival of the “Soviets”, his arrest as a representative of the “class enemy”, his release from prison in Stanislavov (modern Ivano-Frankivsk), his escape across the border to Hungary, military wanderings. The book was translated by the Lviv translator Oles Gerasym – it is relevant for our present.

The Forum of Central and Eastern Europe “Via Carpatia-2022” is organized by the All-Ukrainian Democratic Forum, the NGO “Verkhovyna – Flower of the Carpathians”, the Frank House in Lviv, the Espreso TV channel.
