Today’s session of the
Speaking Club at Window on America center Dnipropetrovsk assembled a large
number of Ukrainians and a big group of the visitors from the USA.
We started the meeting
with the introduction of the new comers.
Today’s date in Ukraine is a special
day for people who study – it’s an official Day of Knowledge. The club members
explained to our American friends the rituals common to Ukrainian tradition –
the First Bell ceremony at schools and the Credit Book introduction for
freshmen. Jacob, the American boy who started his school year at a local school,
shared his impressions of the First Bell ceremony.
For the adult club
members the «Lifelong Education» concept was introduced and briefly analyzed.
Researching is an important element of the Lifelong Education Approach. Internet
search is done by search engines. And the most popular search engine in the
world is Google.
The official topic of
the session was dedicated to Google. We have watched several You Tube videos
illustrating the history of Google, curious facts about the company and
controversial things in its activity. The American guests shared their opinions
about this company.
The club members were
given a task to find a proper name and logo for our club. We hope that for the
next session we’ll be able to choose from several variants.
The session was a
success and enjoyed by all the participants.
The number of visitors
– 26 persons.
