Family Day at Â鶹´«Ã½

June 20, 2011

 

Future Â鶹´«Ã½ students gathered together to paint with their hands, make macaroni necklaces, dance, blow bubbles and meet some of their future classmates.On June 18th, The Â鶹´«Ã½ Continuing Education Center (CEC) and Studio AKME held Family Day on the main campus.  Over 100 children from all over Bishkek came to participate in the arts and crafts extravaganza.  There were 5 different activities for children to choose from, including origami and hula-hooping.  Each child was also able to design their own T-shirt to take home.

The CEC created the idea for Family Day as a way to invite people to the university who would not ordinarily have a reason to come.  "We were told that although Bishkek is a city with a lot of families, there are not enough family events where parents and their children can participate together and have a great time," said Natalia Slastnikova, director of the CEC.  Family Day was the first of many events that the CEC will now run to try and attract different diverse groups of people to Â鶹´«Ã½. 

There were many fine works of art displayed at the end of the day, and many satisfied and worn out children.  Renata and Anastasia, Â鶹´«Ã½ alumni and founders of Studio AKME, and their team of volunteers kept the children moving between different activities, which allowed the parents to catch their breath and relax.  More information on Studio AKME and their programs can be found at their website www.akme.kg.
