Participants of the "NOT boring NOT lecture" in Orsha: everything is close and in youth language
A good meeting format, everything is clear, relatable, and in youth language. This opinion was shared with journalists by the participants of the "Not Boring Not Lecture," which took place at the "Unity Marathon" at the Orsha State Mechanical-Economic College, reports a BELTA correspondent.
At the meeting with Deputy Minister of Education Ekaterina Petrutskaya, the students discussed the theme of choice – personal, fateful, and one that influences people's destinies. What is better – a wafer or a tangerine, listening to the "Not Boring Not Lecture" standing or sitting, changing one's choice upon learning about its consequences? What is choice in a person's life, what responsibility does it require? How to choose a friend and not regret it? Who will be voting for the first time in the Presidential elections of Belarus at the end of January 2025? Ekaterina Petrutskaya and the students discussed various issues, communicating in a relaxed atmosphere.
The interactive sessions and games, which engaged the students in dialogue and made them think about the responsibility a person bears in making any decisions, were greatly appreciated by the participants of the "Not Boring Not Lecture." Stanislav Tavchikov said that he considers his admission to the college to be the most successful choice in his life. "We were here on an excursion, and I immediately realized that this was for me. I heard about all the interesting things here and decided that I would enroll. This is my conscious choice, and I have never regretted it. At the 'Not Boring Not Lecture,' I was struck by the statement that one should evaluate their choices and think about their consequences, because if you make a mistake, it can have repercussions. There are many moments in life when you have to make difficult decisions. After that, you often think that you could have done things differently. Everything here today is very interesting to me, our guests are very charismatic, their words touch something very close within," the young man shared.
Diana Fedartsova is studying law at the college. At the "Not Boring Not Lecture," she was impressed by both the topic and the speaker. "I really liked it when we recalled famous people and their achievements. Their success is very motivating. Various meetings are held at our college, but one of this global scale is happening for the first time. Ekaterina Petrutskaya is very relatable to us, young people, she explains everything in youth language, making it all clear and interesting. You want to sit and listen, forgetting about time," the girl shared.
Her choice of college is also quite interesting. Diana is originally from Zhodino. In the ninth grade, while thinking about her future profession, she became interested in secondary vocational education institutions. After studying information on the internet, the girl decided that she was attracted to both Orsha and the college itself. "I haven't regretted my choice for a single day. I wish it would be the same in the future," said the future lawyer.
At the event, those who were among the first to register for the "Not Boring Not-Lecture" received tickets to the concert "Time Chose Us," which will take place at the Orsha Ice Arena on December 7.
