The awards ceremony at the lyceum

The ceremony of awarding the winners of the project "Thought observation" was held at the lyceum named after Academician Zarifa Aliyeva in Baku.

The project " Thought observation", carried out with the support of Youth Foundation under the President of the Republic of Azerbaijan and in partnership with DVC (Debate in Civil Society Public Union), serves the purpose of increasing young people's interest in dramatic reading, organizing their leisure time more effectively, expressing themselves more fully and acquiring the ability to analyze.

Under the project "Thought observation", young people discussed the literary writing, that was presented to them, as a team, and presented the idea, that the author wants to convey to the reader, through a series of videos made in the form of silent film. The videos were evaluated by the jury. The winning teams were awarded medals, diplomas and prizes.
