Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya visited the Ravenski Belarusian School of Arts named after Mikalaj Ravenski in Warsaw. Currently, around 200 students attend classes at the school every week. The school employs 12 teachers, including Aliaksandr Zhdanovich (Maliavanych).
The school’s director, Halina Kazimirouskaya, gave a tour of the facilities, followed by a meeting with the staff, parents, and students. The children prepared a musical surprise in the form of a choral greeting.
During the meeting, participants discussed the school’s development over the past four years. According to staff members, the institution has grown significantly and has become highly востребована within the Belarusian community. There is now a need to expand the premises, as demand for classes continues to increase.
Tsikhanouskaya expressed special words of gratitude to Marcin Jasiński, head of the Staromiejski Cultural Centre in Warsaw, who has supported the school’s activities for several years. As noted by the Office of Tsikhanouskaya, his assistance has played a key role in the development of the project and has enabled the school to operate on its current scale.
