Educational Exchange with China
The first educational exchange between Wanzhou №2 Senior High School, Chongqing and the First City Gymnasia, Cherkasy, Ukraine has ended. It lasted 10 days and has certainly helped to bring the teachers and students from China and Ukraine closer together.
The Chinese delegation spent several days at the gymnasia. Our guests had lessons of English and Ukrainian, made a tour of the gymnasia and planted a Tree of Friendship in the schoolyard. The Chinese and Ukrainian teachers and students participated in the joint project “Children Dream to Live in Peace” and Dialogue of Cultures Round Table. The Ukrainian students, their parents and teachers were greatly impressed by the performance prepared by the Chinese delegation and overwhelmed by their interests and talents.
The delegation was welcomed by the Mayor of the City Mr. Serhiy Odarych and the Head of the City Department of Education and Humanitarian Policy Mr. M. Kotko.
The Chinese delegation visited Kyiv, the capital of Ukraine and enjoyed the sights of interest there. Our Chinese friends were invited to Cherkasy National University, the Medical College, and the Banking Institute. They made a trip to Sofiyivka, a 200-year-old dendrological park and Chyhyryn, the ancient capital of Ukraine.
They went on excursions to the confectionary and Cherkasytransgas. The highlight of the visit was a trip to the birthplace of the National Hero of China Georgiy Kulishenko.
This educational exchange will undoubtedly get into the history of the gymnasia. We hope so much that this visit of the Chinese delegation from Wanzhou №2 Senior High School won’t be the last and due to our joint efforts the friendly relations between our educational establishments will be only strengthened.
We feel very happy with the visit of our Chinese friends Mr. Feng Liping, the Principal and Mr.Xu Chuanjun, a teacher of English and the students. All of them have made a credit to their school and the city.
Mr. Feng Liping and Mr. Xu Chuanjun were issued the Honorary Teacher Status and the students were awarded the Certificates of Appreciation for their personal contribution into the development of international education.
