Belarusians of Moldova Open a Sunday School for Children
The Belarusian community in Moldova is planning to resume on a new basis the activities of Sunday school for children. Pupils will be taught the Belarusian language, literature, history, culture, traditions and customs of their ethnic homeland. This was reported by the chairman of the Belarusian communities in Moldova Yuri Statkevich.
Such a Sunday school worked for three years from 2005 to 2008. Members of the Belarusian communities in Moldova ruled the teaching process, but some of them, as noted by Yuri Statkevich, faced difficulties in conducting lessons for the lack of a special education, as well as the venerable age.
Now with the in-flow of young teachers in the Belarusian community in Moldova it was decided to resume the activities of the Sunday school for Belarusian children, with particular emphasis on preparing high school students to enroll in the Belarusian universities. Children will learn the subjects on the basis of educational programs, received from the Belarusian side.
In addition, the board of the Sunday school plans to create a museum of Belarusian culture to display costumes, elements of folklore, books, souvenirs and other items, related to the Belarusian culture, literature, history, traditions and customs.
