Women History Month

В рамках Women History Month у WOA Center in Lutsk був проведений захід присвячений жінкам. Студенти з викладачем, а також Alison Stoner, волонтер Корпусу Миру підготували презентації та обговорили women's gender roles and spheres of influence.

March English Debate School

Англійська мова є невід'ємною частиною нашого життя. Її досконале знання відкриває багато шляхів, з якими можна досягти успіху. Те ж можна сказати і про дебати - вміння переконувати, доводити свою точку зору, більш широко та критично мислити важливі для кожного. Ми вирішили об'єднати ці два важливих аспекти в нашому житті та провели English Debate School.

3 та 4 Березня в ІЦ "Вікно в Америку" пройшла English Debate School, у якій взяли участь понад 20 учасників з різних куточків України. Було запрошено 2 англомовних спікери, Oleh Stoiev з Україна та Jan Pacan з Польщі, які провели цікаві та корисні тренінги.

Учасники мали змогу:

- почути цікаві тренінги від визнаних дебатерів українських та іноземних;

- попрактикуватись у вмінні говорити та дебатувати англійською;

- поспілкуватися з тренерами та спікерами іноземцями;

Англомовна дебатна школа відбувається в рамках програми „Публічні виступи та вивчення англійської мови” за підтримки посольства США в Україні.

 The aims of the meeting were:

·         Raise awareness of the materials and resources that can be used effectively in teaching;

Volunteer Fest

 On December 2-5, 2017, Volunteer Fest  was  held in various cities

across Ukraine to mark International Volunteer Day.

The Volunteer Fest was included fairs, flash mobs, discussions, living libraries, movie theaters and contests organized in America House Kyiv and the Window to America Centers around Ukraine.

         Organizers of the Volunteer Fest, UN Volunteers programme, America House Kyiv, GoGlobal, with the support of the Ukrainian Volunteer Service, AIESEC and Peace Corps, aim was to show that volunteering is a driving force of change in the country. The volunteer movement can also contribute to economic growth and

positively affect the development of civil society.

         Despite the importance of volunteering, a 2016 study conducted by the United Nations and the Ministry of Youth and Sports of Ukraine found that only 13.4 % of young people in Ukraine have volunteered at least once in their life. According to the 2017 CAF index of volunteering, Ukraine was ranked 83rd among 139 countries. Although it is 7 grades higher than in the previous year, many Ukrainians are still not fully aware of what volunteering means, its benefits, or how to get involved.

         

During the Volunteer Fest, Ukrainians had the opportunity to learn how volunteering can help them take part in civic engagement. By volunteering, everyone can influence the development of their community, help others, gain valuable professional experience and develop new skills.

        

 The Volunteer Fest was also feature volunteers from all over the world, who shared their experiences and talk about various volunteer opportunities in Ukraine and abroad.
