JFK’s Library and Museum

Today’s session of the GABFEST Club (at Window on America center Dnipropetrovsk, Ukraine) was dedicated to two important dates in May:
-    The Europe Day ( celebrated on May, 18)  and cultural diversity  issues in Europe 
-    the anniversary of the 35th President of the USA – John F. Kennedy  (celebrated on May, 29).
Before the start of the conversation the book display about JFK and his family was presented to the club members. The slide show on the JFK’s biography was demonstrated. The Club members learned several curious facts about the US president.  The group was introduced to the web site of the JFK’s Library and Museum. The site incorporated a very interesting feature – an interactive President’s table. We have virtually “explored” the table and discovered several very interesting objects. Our American guest Mr. David was kind enough to explain tricky things and introduce many cross cultural  details  in his comments.
The second topic of the day was a discussion about the cultural diversity phenomenon. We tried to answer a set of questions on this issue compiled by the HR office of a US college. In the discussion we have touched the benefits and disadvantages of cross cultural diversity in the study or work environment. The cultural diversity situations in the USA and in Ukraine were compared.

The session was educational and the new comers were positively impressed.
The number of participants – 17 persons.
