Today’s session was dedicated to the International Women’s Day.
Each year around the world, International Women's Day (IWD) is
celebrated on March 8. Thousands of events occur not just on this day
but throughout March to mark the economic, political and social
achievements of women.
Organizations, governments, charities and
women's groups around the world choose different themes each year that
reflect global and local gender issues. "Make it happen" is the 2015th
theme of the internationalwomensday.com website.
We have watched a funny slide show about the innovations introduced by
women – like coffee filters, water heater, chocolate chip cookies,
windshield wipers, Kevlar, etc. We have watched and discussed the video
show about women-leaders from numerous countries of the world.
The
final activity today was the introduction of the March, 8th traditions
to our American friends - Jason and Brian. We talked about corporate
traditions, school traditions and family traditions of Women’s Day
celebration. They told us some fun facts about the traditions of
equality they observed in Ukraine.
Number of participants – 15 persons.
