Summer educational shifts have begun at the Moscow City Children’s Maritime Center named after Peter the Great. Here, young city residents learn about the history of shipbuilding and maritime affairs and learn to operate boats and yachts. This was reported by the press service of the capital’s Department of Education and Science.
“Every summer, the Hermes Children and Youth Creativity Development Center organizes educational shifts on the shore of the Khimki Reservoir. Under the guidance of experienced teachers, children learn the basics of sailing: they learn to steer ships, use maps and satellite systems, recognize signs of weather changes, and effectively interact with team members. It is planned that more than a thousand schoolchildren will attend the shifts this summer,” the department’s press service noted.
During classes, schoolchildren learn to determine the direction and strength of the wind, use a life jacket and provide first aid, and also get acquainted with the structure of lifeboats and master rowing on boats Yal-6, Yal-4, Sava 470 and control of the yacht “Optimist”. For teenagers from 15 to 17 years old, a separate program has been prepared for the control of a small vessel. This will allow them to pass the exam to obtain a license immediately upon reaching adulthood.
“The most important thing that children learn is to communicate with each other. This skill is transferred to the shore, to school. Children become more relaxed. As practice shows, they are also more physically prepared: after all, we have strength-based exercises, such as rowing,” said Mikhail Turevich, a teacher at the Peter the Great Moscow City Children’s Marine Center.
During classes, schoolchildren construct ship models using drawings that they request from archives if necessary. The children also complete quests, go on excursions to museums, and participate in quizzes, sports competitions, and creative contests.
Summer shift programs are available for children aged seven to 17. You can register on the website of the Center for the Development of Children and Youth Creativity “Hermes”.
More information about additional education in the capital is available in Telegram channels “Moscow education” And“Moscow Center for Educational Practices”.
Supplementary education programs develop creative and critical thinking in schoolchildren and form skills for a future profession. The events held within the framework of these initiatives contribute to the project “All the best for children” of the national project “Youth and Children”.
