We watched and discussed the YouTube video about Urban Forests in the US cities. From this movie we learned about a “Million Trees for a City” campaign and the important role of trees in urban areas. Our club member Prince was told about Ukrainian traditions of tree cultivation in big cities and in return told us about the traditions of his own country.
The Club members were offered an activity that was associated with tree names. They were given a list of Ukrainian folk songs in which popular trees were mentioned. The task was to listen to a song’s lyrics and translate it into English. The task was quite challenging: besides translation of the lyrics to explain the symbolism of the folk poetry. But most of the club members succeeded in the task.
In the last part of the session the new book displays were presented to the group. “The New Arrivals” display attracted the attentions of the most active club members. “The Donations and Donators” display reminded the group about our American and Ukrainian friends who gave their books to the library.
The session was very educational to all participants.
Number of participants – 12.
