Natalia Mishyna, one of EADHC founders, speaks:
today I present one of my best friends Adelaida Kovalkovska. She is an electrophysicist (specialising in electroacoustics and ultrasound), now retired. Adelaida has 3 children, so she advises on youth and education.
Before the war, Adelaida lived in the centre of Odessa and spent a lot of time doing sports and cultural activities. She was my main partner in crime when it came to the opera, ballet and other theatres. Now she lives in Ulm, Germany.
Adelaida likes to see that children and young people in Germany have a very serious extracurricular education – in sport, music, art. The events for children and youth are always organised at the highest level with the participation of the best possible professionals (for example, in Odessa the ballets for children always use phonograms, never live orchestra – but in Germany there are spectacles with the orchestra, always with the participation of the chief conductor, specially adapted for children and youth). The training of children and youth is organised not to create amateurs – but professionals.
When the young people finish the training, they get brilliant results (for example, they can play in the orchestra as a hobby) – and their character is formed for future serious work and further studies.
Many thanks, Ada, and all of the best to you!
