Conversation club with the founders of the British non-profit organization "Casus Pax"

On October 27th, we had a wonderful meeting at the Conversation Club with our incredible British volunteers Adam McQuire and Holly Tann! It was a wonderful exchange of ideas and experiences that brought together students from grade 6, college students, and Zaporizhia Polytechnic National University.

The UK became closer to us thanks to lively discussions and shared reflections. We delved into the following topics:
– Is it really 5 o’clock: we discussed stereotypes about the British and the iconic tradition of tea drinking
– From classics to modernity: We shared our thoughts on our favorite writers and school literature programs
– The royal family and Christmas: We remembered the King’s speech and compared the traditions of celebrating Christmas in both countries
– Culinary travels: We discussed our favorite dishes: from the classic British bacon and eggs to the traditional Ukrainian borscht and banosh.
– More than just a bar: Holly and Adam talked about the pub as a cultural phenomenon in Great Britain
– Uniting Ukraine and the world: We shared our impressions of the Ukrainian Radio Dictator of National Unity and discussed the importance of volunteering and donation blood
– they did not miss the most touching topic — pets: the special guest was Puma, a charming dog, a faithful companion of a military paramedic

Thank you to Adam McQuire and Holly Tann for their enthusiasm and extraordinary openness, for their selfless help to educators and education seekers!

We are also grateful to all the participants for their activity!
