IMAGINE! The Club
The Club was founded on January 15 by Martin Bouchard and Rimma Abdrakhimova. They both teach English as a foreign language at the Language Link School in Sterlitamak (rep. Bashkortostan), Russian Federation.
It was inspired by John Lennon's song "IMAGINE" who's put into words many young people's hopes for a new and better world : "a world of freedom and peace, without wars, religion, governments and even countries."
More specifically, the members are invited to
focus on using English to exchange and discuss on different matters and issues,
formally or informally. The programme of activities include films, exposés
(guest speaker), books promotion, games, outdoor excursions, etc.
On January 22, the members have elected Regina HAIJAROVA as president;, Oleg ILIN as vice-president and Vasilisa DMITRUK as treasurer. Eduard GIZATULLIN has accepted to become the official chauffeur.
