Racism Ruins Lives!

January 15, 2011 in the WOA center in Lutsk there was the meeting of our English Community Club. The topic of the meeting was “Racism ruins lives” (devoted to Martin Luther King’s Day in the USA). 12 people were present, two Americans and two African-Americans among them. We started from the presentation about racism then watched a short documentary video “Are we so different?” After this there was demonstrated a presentation about Martin Luther King personality and we watched a video of an excerpt from his famous last speech “I’ve been to the Mountaintop”. All presented people were impressed by this topic; we had people of different races on our meeting, so we asked them how do they feel in Ukraine and in our town? Do they feel racism and if yes, in what way?

p.s. before the discussion of the topic new discs with films, Harry Potter audio-books, new board games were demonstrated to our visitors. We also decided to organize sooner or later an evening of playing board games. Then our guests were proposed a questionnaire about the work of the center, their thoughts and wishes for improving its work.
