On this day

Eugène Henri Paul Gauguin (7 June 1848 – 8 May 1903) was a French Post-Impressionist artist who was not well appreciated until after his death. Gauguin was later recognized for his experimental use of color and synthetist style that were distinguishably different from Impressionism. His work was influential to the French avant-garde and many modern artists, such as Pablo Picasso and Henri Matisse. Gauguin’s art became popular after his death; partially from the efforts of art dealer Ambroise Vollard who organized exhibitions of his work late in his career, as well as assisting in organizing two important posthumous exhibitions in Paris. Many of his paintings were in the possession of Russian collector Sergei Shchukin as well as other important collections.

Ruse children seeking good news

05.02.2018

“Bryag” Foundation announces a school competition “The good news in my school, my neighbourhood, my city” in two age categories: grades 1-4 and grades 5-8. The works should be up to one page and should be sent to e-mail: editor@briag.bg until February 28, 2018.

The news will be evaluated by a jury, consisting of two journalists and a pedagogue. They will be included in a collection of the same topic and will be published in “Bryag” newspaper - Ruse.

The winners will be awarded a tablet, a camera, books and reader’s cards for “Lyuben Karavelov” Regional Library. The award ceremony will take place at a big children’s celebration in March 2018.

The contest is part of project “Good news, bad news, fake news in media and social networks”, which is implemented under the “Knowledge and Growth” Programme of Ruse Free Spirit City Foundation with the support of Econt Foundation.

Within the project framework, children from fourth, fifth and sixth grade of “Otets Paisii” Primary School had the opportunity to learn how to find good news and how to tell fake news apart from real ones. They also received guidance on how to verify that what they hear, see and read in the media is real and learned that they should not trust unverified information. They were also introduced to the basic rules of journalism writing.
