GLOWing in Gordinesti, Edinet!

 On May 5th, 2012, The 10th, 11th, and 12th form female students at Liceul Teoretic Gordinesti conducted 4 seminars.GLOW seminars are usually led by Peace Corps volunteers, but since we conducted a GLOW seminar last year at the high school, this year we decided the girls could teach the seminars.

The PC volunteer in this village took a survey on the topics the girls were most interested. After finalizing the topics, the girls had the opportunity to chose the seminar they would like to lead (in pairs). They were given materials and lesson plans used in the past by volunteers. Each pair led seminars on the following topics: dating, human trafficking, and violence.

One PCV also led a seminar on future planning. All of the seminars were informative, engaging and full of great activities. The girls that led the seminars prepared amazing lessons and activities. Not only did the girls that attended the seminar learn about the interesting topics, but they observed how accessible and fun it is to lead a GLOW seminar. They are excited to lead more in the future!
