On January 20, 2016 an unusual workshop “What is Friendship?” was held at Philology Department. Bruckhaizen Herman Derk, a guest from Holland, asked this question; thereafter students and teachers were searching to the answer using modern social technologies.
It is important to emphasize that Bruckhaizen Herman Derk produces equipment, tools, toys for children who suffer from Down's syndrome, autism and mental disorders. Here, in Belarus, Mr Derk visited Childcare Center “Our Home” in El’sk Region in order to give a helping hand.
By good fortune Herman Derk agreed to take part in the workshop “Innovative technologies of Foreign Language Teaching” at the premises of Philology Department. 3rd year students (majoring in English), Victoria Morozevich, MSPU graduate, and Yuliya Hodun’kova, a 4th year student, favoured the initiative and shared their opinions over the course of the discussion. Participants were divided into several small groups in order to master English and covered the questions of life, friendship, peculiarities of system of education in Holland and Belarus. Participants also told about Belarus, latest achievements in the fields of science and technology, sang national Belarusian songs.
The workshop was held in an informal, friendly way. It inspired all the participants; as a result everybody came to the conclusion that there were no boundaries between our countries and we spoke the same language – the language of friendship!
All the students who participated in the workshop express their gratitude to the organizers – Irina Gutsko, Deputy Dean for Academic Affairs, and Svetlana Kiseleva, Head Teacher, Chair of English and Methods of Foreign Language Teaching.
