At Artek, another shift called 'Learn to Learn', scheduled to coincide with Teachers' Day, has been shut down on a large scale. Not only children are taught here, but also adults. Recently the center has undergone advanced training for teachers, advisers for principals on education.
& nbsp;
This is a new position which has been introduced by the Ministry of Education. “Our school for teachers works with 65 constituent entities of the Russian Federation, we train counselors not only for ourselves, but also for camps in other regions,” said the director of Artek International Children & # 39; s Center. Konstantin Fedorenko … & ndash; This year, as part of a pilot project, we conducted training for 2,500 educational institution principal advisers for education. & # 39; The teachers spent 7 days in the camp, feeling like children. And they were really surprised by a lot of things. Konstantin Fedorenko noted that a training center will appear in Artek as part of the president's instructions. Ideally, representatives from Artek will then appear in each school to share a unique experience of working with the children. Now at Artek, more than 150 educational programs are implemented jointly with more than a hundred thematic partners. & Nbsp;
How do the guests of Artek live? This may be one of the few places in the country where there is no use of saving money on the kids. Admittedly, all is not yet finished: in some places of the territory you come across lookouts and shabby buildings, workers pave the paths. This is understandable & ndash; the territory is immense, more than 200 hectares, 7 km along the coast. Well, and most importantly: Although most school kids come to Artek for free, not everyone gets the coveted voucher.
There are 2,500 children in the center (there are 3,500 in the summer, so because there is also a seasonal camp) and the same number of employees. And from 2025 they promise to launch another complex & ndash; 'Sunny' camp by the sea it is being completed. It will accept 1000 children at a time.
No one is hindering teenage self-expression here. You can walk with an earring in your nose, arrows in your eyes, and glossy lipstick on your lips and with absolutely any hairstyle. But at the same time, everyone is dressed in an Artek brand uniform of different colors only according to the team (pants, T-shirts, sweaters, jackets, caps), which is made specifically to the measurements of each child by a well-known sports brand. After the end of the shift, the clothes are given back as a souvenir to the children, only caps or hats with the inscription and the logo of the center remain free.
In each of the 9 camps there are thematic units & ndash; tourist, maritime, artistic, etc. Children study in their chosen direction for the 21-day shift, and then, if they wish, participate in the final competitions. For example, teams of tourists overcame a conditional swamp and participated in rock climbing. Residents of the naval camp showed their skills in boat rides and tug of war. During the last days of the shift, you can try your hand at different types of activities & ndash; there are more than five dozen of them: ceramics, fine art, robotics, DJ art, playing the piano or the guitar, etc. For some reason, kids were more interested in making a talisman, judging by the number of them. around the table where they taught this trade. In general, the most popular activities were those where it was possible to do something for the memory & ndash; clay craft, postcard, mosaic. But at the 'Pirogov' interactive table, where the human body and organs were shown in 3D images, for some reason there were hardly any listeners. .
Meals are 5 meals per day. Meals are organized by a Moscow company which has won a government order. Among the dishes, say, for lunch there is a certain choice & ndash; three salads, two starters, three types of hot dishes for the second and fruit. Supplements can be taken in unlimited quantities. The highlight is that every day there is a daily special & ndash; something from the national cuisines of the world. And also Artek pancakes. The animation chefs show the kids how to cook them, then they can try their hand at the cooking art.
Another feature of Artek & ndash; school. The residents of Artek study there according to the school curriculum, if the change does not fall during the summer vacation, but 300 students are constantly studying. These are the children of local residents of the nearest settlements & ndash; Yalta, Gurzuf, Alushta. This year, according to the director of Natalia Tsarkova , instead of 25 first graders, they enrolled 30 & ndash; very good talented children have come. The children themselves call the school Hogwarts. – due to the mountainous terrain, the building is constructed in such a way that beginners can get lost. & nbsp; & nbsp;
Closing the team & ndash; it's a show. All the kids get together at the Artek-arena at the same time, along with the teachers, counselors, and ndash; and it's an amazing sight. This time the hero of the Soviet Union, cosmonaut Vladimir Titov came to congratulate children and teachers on Teachers' Day … Each time a special presentation script is written. But there is a sweet tradition & ndash; guys give all the girls a rose to close the team.
95% of the good & nbsp; in & nbsp; Artek & nbsp; free. You can access it in two ways & ndash; through a regional quota or thematic partner competitions. The voucher issuance system is automated.
