Practicing English and celebrating St. Valentine’s Day

Collaboration of DOUNB and the youth public organization “Ukraine needs you” continues with flying colors. As usually Wednesday is the American Movie Club Day, this time the meeting of lovers of American movies at the information and resource center “Window on America” took place in a non-traditional manner. It was a festive educational and entertaining meeting devoted to St. Valentine’s Day. The meeting was prepared by Anna Motorina, a senior school student, who offered to watch 20-minutes video about the history of St. Valentine’s Day.
Those who were present enjoyed watching this festive and useful video and heartily participated in quizzes. The quiz loved by everyone most was “Guess the romantic tune from the movie”. The prize swiftly found its owner. After it everyone watched the romantic movie about searches of love “Hope Floats” and tried different techniques of making valentines cards. Everyone – children, youth and adults were involved into the process of creating a bright and amazing picture with valentines cards to share High Holiday spirits with the next patrons. 

The picture became the highlight of celebration of the St. Valentines’ Day and solemnly decorated Window on America Center.
The festive atmosphere of the meeting was warmed by hot tea with treats.
Number of participants – 16 persons.
