Wave of October: Ukraine
What if for one whole month we studied Ukrainian literature, discussed Ukrainian traditions and integrated Ukrainian language with almost all disciplines and subjects? By the way, do you like this idea – to study Ukrainian ornaments at the information science classes, and then embody them in a T-shirt design?
What if we discussed protective charms, traditions, and made an itinerary for travelling between cities of Ukraine, came to school in our embroidered vyshyvankas, participated in theme-based workshops, visited historical sites? It would mean that we had a 100% immersion into a very important wave topic – Ukraine.

- What is wave immersion at CISC, and why is this approach practical?
During the month, the junior classes of CISC schools study one specific topic in all disciplines, which unites them all. During the month, students analyze it from different aspects.
-
- What does it give?
International research shows that students can better operate the knowledge only when it is presented holistically, modeling real life, where the problems of language, mathematics, science, and so on are intertwined. Such integration is about the real-life needs of CISC students, their interests, and their lives.
At the wave imersion, the students obtain experience: personal, scientific, creative and even professional. And they also learn to cooperate, work within a team, speak in public, defend their point of view, convince others, present themselves and listen to others.
