At educational courses, specialists will tell children about their professions.

Magic tricks with cards and a do-it-yourself collage, a trip to the archbureau and the dog training center of the Ministry of Internal Affairs - on October 7, the project “ Rolls do not grow on trees” opens 15 educational courses that will help children 7-14 years old get acquainted with professions. Each course includes 6-10 weekly lessons, during which children not only listen to what, for example, an Africanist or director tells them about their profession, but they also do something themselves. In addition, each course includes one or two on-site sessions, which can be enrolled separately. In the final, each student presents their own thematic project ( in some cases group work). So, at the end of the “ Illustrator” course, the child should get “ The Artist’s Book”, and at the end of the “ Zoologist” course - a project for restoring the biocenosis.

“When selecting teachers, I focused primarily on the fact that they were professionals,” says , head of the “ Buns Don’t Grow on Trees” Maria Ivanova project , who received about 150 proposals. - Secondly, so that he is able to inspire with what he says and does. And only thirdly, so that he has experience working with children.” Teachers without teaching experience will have teaching assistants.

“Buns Don’t Grow on Trees” has been running for a year. True, last year there were only five courses, and there was no permanent premises for classes: at first they were even held at Starbucks . There are several venues this year. You can sign up for courses, as well as find out who teaches them, where and when they take place, on the project website ( www.boolkee.ru ) or at the presentation on October 6 at the 3IL cultural center. “ If the child is a little younger, he can also enroll in the course, but first he should go through a short interview,” recommends Ivanova, “to find out whether the chosen course is worth attending. Last year, it happened that children were brought to us, and after 15 minutes they began to get rowdy or, conversely, fall asleep.”

The lesson lasts two hours and costs 1000 rubles.
