Karaganda RURL

In the United States, the month of February is dedicated to the African-American culture, and the AC Karaganda organized a special event in honor of this commemoration month. We invited the AC users and English teachers from the International Business Academy. Using the resources available at the American Corner, AC patrons learned about Carter G. Woodson, Martin Luther King, Richard Pryor, Maya Angelou and Rosa Parks. As a group activity, participants read about one famous African-American and later told about him or her to the next group, thus, covering many personalities and developing team work skills. Over 40 AC users participated in the event and learned about the American history.
