APRIL 14: CHARITY DEVELOPMENT IN SOCIOCULTURAL EDUCATIONAL PROJECTS
The themes of the Charitable University project in Moscow are varied. We strive to embrace all sciences. April 12, the Day of Cosmonautics, a scientific journalist, "Enlightener" award winner , Asya Kazantseva, took part in the project. The theme of her lecture was directly related to the holiday: "Space exploration: biological and medical problems".
Thanks to an erudite speaker and interested listeners, we managed to raise 21,600 rubles. These funds will go to the program of social assistance to the lonely elderly disabled of the "Lifestyle" Fund and for the benefit of elderly people with cancer, wards of AdVita Charity Foundation.
Asya Kazantseva shared her impressions of participating in the project: "If you think about it, it's amazing: it would seem there is an Internet where you can find any information, from any specialist, why should people get out of the house and walk through this space of ice to listen to a lecture about space? Apparently human beings are relational, and the possibility of live communication is important enough for us to assemble in groups. It's great when this need can still be directed to good purposes, as in the case of my lecture -raising money for charity.
Themes of public lectures should be sufficiently broad and understandable to any listener because their task is not to teach but to interest. Later, if a person realized that he likes it, he can continue to explore the topic with the help of more serious sources.
The questions from the audience were not only about medical and biological research of the cosmos, but also relating other biological topics that were closer to me, about scientific journalism and life in general. At the end of the evening there was a feeling (quite pleasant) that the lecture is just an excuse, and everyone just likes to get together a good company and talk about the smart "
We thank the space of the Blagosphere for the provided photos.

The author of the production, the coordinator of charitable programs and projects of the fund "Lifestyle", Alia Martynova, told us the story: "This is a tale of a bug that was the most unattractive among other insects. He did not have a bright coloring, beautiful wings, but the Sun gave him an inner light, and he became a firefly. We teach the guys that the real beauty is inside, it's the inner light. Our fairy tale teaches good and beauty in everyday life, in the world around us. "
After the performance, we discuss with the guys what we saw, and then they paint happy fairy-tale heroes . Let's see what comes out!
