Together, members of the Museum’s English Conversation Club will hone their language skills through scientific knowledge of history, biology, paleontology, geology, geography and ethnography based on exhibits from the museum’s collection.
For teenagers, items that are usually kept in closed storage facilities and are shown only at exhibitions will become available.
The course Local History in English is a cycle of classes that includes thematic blocks Taimyr Nature, Taimyr Indigenous Peoples and The Russian North Development. Norilsk Discovery. After studying each section, club members will be able to show their new skills and knowledge in the open excursion format for their family and friends.
