THE UNESCO ASPnet PROJECT: FCG STUDENTS WERE STUDYING EASTERN TRADITIONS

On April 10 Kyiv Lyceum of International Relations hosted an International Forum for UNESCO Associated School called “Europe and Asia in a Dialogue of Cultures. Life Lessons from Confucius” .  Two students, Volodymyr Kahramanov and Polina Striletska, along with a teacher of English Y.S.Brovchenko had a chance to emerge into eastern culture.  They participated in four workshops: Chinese and Calligraphy, Paper Cutting (chuang hua), Making Weaving Knots Jewellery and Chinese Tea Ceremony. The tea ceremony was probably the highlight. It impressed all the participants of the Forum – it was so unusual and interesting. Tea making in China – is a real tradition, which includes many rituals.  After the workshops the participants had a discussion about lessons from Confucius, his influence on humanity and oriental countries in particular. Confucius is highly appreciated in China. In this country you will see many statues with his image and come across different engraved quotes of this philosopher.

The Forum enriched the students with knowledge about eastern countries and left many unforgettable impressions.

P.S. Kyiv Lyceum of International Relations has been an official partner of FCG for a number of years.
