The “Love for Reading” event: bringing together book enthusiasts of ADA School.
It is a common fact that the art of words shapes a personality by influencing the thoughts and feelings of people and revealing to them the aesthetic world in all its beauty. It enriches us with knowledge about the intricacies of human relations, cultivates the civility of a new generation, and affirms universal human values, among other things. Inspired by this idea, the ADA School Department of Foreign Languages, within the framework of the curriculum for the RFLprogram, organized an event, “Love for Reading,” which united students who are passionate about books.
A special guest of the event was a well-known blogger and an entrepreneur Ms. Narmina Hasanli – a podcast host and a founder of a popular book club in Baku, “Books and Beyond”. Ms. Hasanli spoke about her passion for books and the creation of podcasts about them.
The second guest of the meeting was Ms. Nigar Maharramova, a co-author of podcasts about books and a columnist of the Nargis magazine, who spoke about the history of the creation of the podcast “Karabakh is my soul.”.
Participants of the event discussed their literary preferences, comparing and emphasizing the relevance of both Russian classical and modern literature.
After the discussion, the students proceeded to the practical part of the event. It included several interactive activitiessuch as guessing the quote from the literary work, writing a text for the internal podcast about favorite games, and othertasks aimed at enhancing the students’ worldview and building teamwork skills.
ADA students do not only love reading but also try to engage with the reading material at a deeper level, exchangetheir literary experiences, find like-minded people, and even reveal their writing talents.
It was the first literary event after long-term restrictions associated with the pandemic. Due to this, only 15 students could participate in person, while 20 students joined online.
We hope that such interesting events involving professional writers, publicists, literary scholars, and philologists will be informative for all students.
