May 13, Vitebsk / Olga Bogacheva - BELTA /. The best young guides of school museums in the Vitebsk region are demonstrating their skills in Orsha, Elena Chernysheva, a methodologist at the Vitebsk Regional Association for Extracurricular Work with Children and Adolescents, told a BELTA correspondent. The event was attended by 16 students from grades 6-11, representing educational institutions from Orsha, Vitebsk, Polotsk, Novopolotsk, Gorodok, Vitebsk, Orsha, Senno, Shumilino, Postavy, Glubokoe, Polotsk and Chashniki districts. The finalists were selected by the jury members from 50 applicants based on the submitted excursion development plans. On the way to victory, participants will have to overcome a series of tasks. Thus, on the eve of the event, the jury members evaluated their creative abilities in a literary and musical competition and the "Museum in a Suitcase" competition - a 10-minute excursion based on seven items from a school museum united by one theme. Today, the children will have to conduct an impromptu excursion at the Memorial Museum of the Hero of the Soviet Union K.S. Zaslonov. The entire exhibition will be divided into 16 blocks. In an hour and a half, the young guides must prepare a fascinating story about the part of the exhibition assigned to them. The final test will be the quiz game "Local History Target" to test knowledge of the Great Patriotic War and museum work. The winners will be awarded this evening. In addition to the competition tasks, an extensive excursion program around Orsha and the places of military glory of the Orsha district has been prepared for the schoolchildren, and tomorrow, May 14, the children will get acquainted with Mogilev and visit the "Buinichskoye Pole" memorial complex. The competition is organized by the departments of culture and education of the Vitebsk Regional Executive Committee and the Orsha City Executive Committee. -0-
