From robotics to creativity. How additional education is developing in the Grodna region In the Grodna region, an additional education system is developing for children and youth, which covers creativity, technical disciplines and cutting-edge technologies. According to the data of the regional education department, 24 additional educational institutions operate in the region, and tens of thousands of children study in clubs and associations in schools, kindergartens and colleges. A total of 1,450 education programs are operated in 15 regions. Artistic creativity is the most popular, with growing interest in robotics, artificial intelligence, graphic design, journalism and media creativity. The authorities also pay attention to the organization of free time during the holidays: there are camps and school playgrounds where the children can learn new skills and be supervised by teachers. Further education development gives children the opportunity to discover talents, acquire practical skills and find interests outside the school curriculum. Of particular importance is the availability of these types of activities for families from different localities and the possibility for each child to choose a direction according to his interests.
