A good teacher is a person who is constantly learning, who does not stop for a second.

Daria Pavlovna Khurda, Chairman of the Association of Young Teachers of the Primorsky District, gave advice to young colleagues:

Believe in the profession, and you will find the reflection of yourself and your work in children.

The students of Petrozavodsk University presented the project “The Polar Way to My Karelia”, aimed at increasing the interest of schoolchildren in the history and traditions of their small homeland.

We managed not only to learn something ourselves, but also to pass on our experience. At the gymnasium we presented the project “The Polar Way to My Karelia”. The main goal of this project is to form in schoolchildren of Arctic Karelia ideas about the possibilities, history and potential of their native region by completing an educational web quest.

The main idea got the audience interested. Petersburg colleagues confirmed the importance and relevance of the project. I also liked the form through which we want to achieve our goal. A web quest is a technology that is interesting to modern schoolchildren, because it is implemented on a platform that is understandable for them, using the Internet.

We ended our presentation with a phrase that embodies our project and it sounds like this: the polar path to my Karelia is a project about love for our native land and small homeland. We hope that with our project we have inspired the audience and revealed the urgency of the problem ,

– said student Anastasia Vlasova, project coordinator.

We hope that we will be friends for a long time and we will have joint creative, scientific affairs.
