International Youth Spring Discussion Camp

Hello my dear American friends!
How are you doing there in North Carolina? I hope everything is OK))

Today I'd like to tell you about one more event that is traditional in Braslav Gymnasium - it's International Youth  Spring Discussion Camp. This camp is annual and is usually held in the end of March, on spring holidays. This time is very convenient because this camp is not only for students of Braslav Gymnasium but also for those who want to change their life for better.

This year we met students from different Belarusian schools (Verkhnedvinsk, Vitebsk, Zditovo, Minsk, Druya, Molodechno, Pinsk, Ivanovo, Orsha) and from Latvia (Riga and Daugavpils). During the work of the camp the participants tried to spread the ideas of sustainable development among the citizens of Braslav and the region. They tried to work out some projects and ideas that will help people, who live in this smal and very beautiful town, to live a better and a happier life. 

It was really cool when the ideas that we created together were shared with the local authority and the way of putting these ideas into life was discussed!  Can you imagine, the students had debates and tried to prove their opinions!!! I think that we can use this form of activity in our school and communicate with the local authority to draw their attention to the problems of the region)) It's really helpful. Do you agree?

Best wishes to everyone, 

Love, 

Woodstock

P.S. Some photos of the camp

Dear friends,

I'm so sorry for not writing for such a long time but I was really busy these days.

I should say that the life in Braslav gymnasium is very intensive. We participate in different events that take place here.

Students present their work about musical groups

First of all I'd like to tell you about Scientific-Practical Conference for students that traditionally takes place in Braslav Gymnasium in March every year. We were happy to listen to the presentations of Braslav students that were devoted to studying English. The topics were really different)) Some of them investigated the names of different musical groups (English, Russian, Belarusian, American, etc.), some spoke about the meaning of games and their role in people's life. Some students tried to express their opinion about art and what it should look like. Some spoke about Belarusian Eurovision contestants. Have you heard anything about Eurovision? I'm sure, not)) Here you can find some info about it. It's a musical contest)) Do we have a similar one in America? I'm not sure(

We analyze the results of the survey))

So, we listened to all the presentations and learnt a lot. I enclose some photos for you to see the students and us))

How are you doing? How is Tater? 

I miss you so much)))

My greetings to everyone, 

Yours Woodstock
