Teaching is the only light according to the proverb, it is also a freedom.

Nothing liberates man so as knowledge …

(Ivan Turgenev)

We live in the age of new technologies that are rapidly penetrating into all spheres of our life; children today often do not even realize how people spenе their time before the invention of a computer. It is necessary to remind the younger generation about the past, because without it there is no future. The Konstantin Kondakov Charity Foundation invited students from multi-child Bogdanovy, Ogurcovy and Haniny families to plunge into history and visit a lesson in Old Russian school.

The interactive event was organized as a part of the Road to Life for Every Child program and the Good Cause Every Day! promo event.

In the playful way a lesson-excursion was held for girls and boys, during it the children learned how Old Russian school looked like, what subjects were studied at those times. The teacher told how and in what way students were taught in the old days. She also introduced to the guys an Old Slavonic alphabet, the children even tried to write texts in the Old Slavonic language.

All the children really enjoyed writing with real goose feathers. It was very exciting and at the same time not a simple task. The kids learned what means the method of «carrot and stick» and what it meant in ancient times. The girls and boys were able to fully immerse themselves in the atmosphere of the old school and feel what our ancestors being pupils experienced.

The excursion into history turned out incredibly informative, the children broaden their horizons and increased erudition.

Our Foundation continues the series of informative lessons for children from multi-child families, because with love in our hearts we are building a new world!
