On August 12, a new group started learning an introductory course about life in Latvia. In the first lesson, the lecturer, Gunta Vīksne, member of the board of the association "Shelter "Safe House"" talked about Latvia and the history of Latvia.
After the lesson, the participants said that until now they did not know what trials Latvia and its people faced on the way to an independent state. Those who came from Ukraine saw many similarities with the history of Ukraine.
In the course of further studies, course participants will learn about the social support system in Latvia, the legal system and rights, holidays and traditions, housing and the rental market. Practical excursions will take you to the State Employment Agency, Riga History and Shipping Museum, Latvian Investment and Development Agency. There will be 9 classes in total.
A creative master class will conclude the cycle of classes.
What kinf of a master-class that will be?
It`s a secret for now, but it`s sure to be an exciting and educational lesson.
