Unit 4 Lesson 3 Ex. 2b

UNESCO club ‘Gulfstream’ was founded in Minsk Gymnasium 12 in 2008. At present there are 26 members of the club including both students and teachers. The main stream of our work is International Cooperation in the spheres of Education, Ecology, Model UN conferences and Healthy Lifestyle.

We participate in different educational contests and festivals. Participation in international Model UN conferences is an excellent opportunity for students to study leadership, to get acquainted with main principals of humanity, tolerance, democracy. We have participated in MUN conferences held in Germany, Poland, Saint Petersburg and Minsk. We are proud to be the organisers of GYMUN conferences for the last two years.

Through different actions, games and contests we make our students understand how important it is to care of nature. We have found appropriate ways to teach them ecology problems.

Among the brightest events we have taken part in I can name “The Youth Training” devoted to the World Anti-AIDS Day, the Swedish-Belarusian on-line «Young Masters Programme», the action “Utilisation” aimed at utilizing used batteries, the meeting with a representative of the European Volunteer Network “Creative ideas in business”, the international projects “Now And Then”, “Let’s Discover Europe” and many more. We are young, active and open to new ideas!.
