Philosophy Course
Modern children think in fragments.
They perceive the world like a videoclip — as a sequence of events that are barely connected. This is the result of contemporary advanced internet technologies and their reality: systematically watching short video clips and isolated news items; skimming headlines and scrolling through friends’ timelines on social networks.
Goals of the Philosophy Course:
To develop children’s ability to think logically and perceive the world as a whole.
To counteract “clipping thinking” and the rapid, superficial consumption of information.
To teach analytical skills necessary for making thoughtful decisions throughout their lives.
To develop the Russian language and speaking culture, enriching and activating their vocabulary.
Our course aligns with the tradition of the best philosophical schools, which not only transmitted knowledge but also awakened the student’s inner potential — developing their ability to think independently, analyze situations, and solve concrete problems through the discussion of different viewpoints in a philosophical dialogue.
Why Philosophy?
Philosophy is important for shaping a thinking human being — someone capable of acting beyond internet templates. In an era of automation and digitalization, it is crucial that young people learn to seek answers to questions that cannot be “Googled.”
Philosophy is essential for the development of logical, critical, flexible, and creative thinking. The 21st-century person must not only consume information but also learn to analyze it.
Philosophy contributes to forming a well-rounded worldview. Its study enriches young people’s perspectives and provides them with a wide range of tools to understand life and society more deeply.
Philosophy helps develop ethical and value orientations in life. Additionally, it provides an excellent foundation for further study in all domains of knowledge and professional fields.
During our sessions, I share engaging philosophical stories from East and West in thematic series:
“Eastern Philosophy” (India, China, Japan)
“Ancient Philosophy” (Ancient Greece)
We discuss what the ancient philosophers thought and why it still matters today; how we can use the wisdom of the past to solve contemporary problems.
We learn to think, discuss effectively, substantiate our viewpoints, and analyze and solve problems.
Each series consists of five sessions.
Everyone is warmly invited to the open introductory session!
Program of the Online Course ‘History of Russia’
The online course “History of Russia” aims to spark participants’ interest in the study of history.
Carefully selected factual material forms the basis for inviting participants to independently analyze the history of Russian state formation and to develop a conscious civic attitude.
The course covers the history of the Russian state in its entirety — from the 9th to the 21st century — and encourages participants to engage in discussions on current issues within Russian history.
Upon completing the course, participants will gain a structured understanding of the main stages in Russian history, based on widely accepted facts and concepts within historiography.
The history of Russia continues to have a direct influence on its present. It is closely tied to the self-identity of the Russian people, and historical events are often used to explain foreign policy. Therefore, it is important to learn how to work with historical sources, identify connections between events, and understand their causes and consequences.
All of this is what we explore in this course. We rise above isolated events and dry facts, viewing Russian history as a lively and continuous process.
The program is designed for 6 years of study. Each year includes 30 lessons (duration of one lesson: 60 minutes). Each lesson consists of a lecture followed by a discussion. For each lesson, a short video clip is provided to explore a specific event or issue.
Lessons are held once a week via the ZOOM platform.

Online Japanese Course (for school students, university students, and adults)
The Japanese language courses are conducted according to the Minna no Nihongo system. Each level is designed for 60 lessons of 60 minutes each. By studying the material from the first three levels, students acquire all the vocabulary and grammar necessary to take the JLPT (Japanese Language Proficiency Test) at the N5 level.
The Minna no Nihongo textbook is a modern guide for learning Japanese, used worldwide, including in Japan itself. The textbook is written in kanji (characters) and is transcribed into the phonetic hiragana alphabet.
Minna no Nihongo 1 consists of 50 lessons. Grammar is presented schematically in tables and examples with dialogues. At the end of each lesson, there are listening exercises, writing assignments, and reading comprehension tests. During the first lesson, students are introduced to hiragana and katakana — the two phonetic alphabets of Japanese, which represent the same sounds but are written differently.

Program: Traditional Culture of Japan
De onlinecursus “Geschiedenis van Rusland” heeft als doel bij de deelnemers interesse te wekken voor het vak geschiedenis.
Zorgvuldig geselecteerd feitenmateriaal vormt de basis om deelnemers uit te nodigen tot een zelfstandige analyse van de geschiedenis van de Russische staatsvorming en tot het ontwikkelen van een bewuste burgerlijke houding.
De cursus bestrijkt de geschiedenis van de Russische staat in haar volle omvang — van de 9e tot de 21e eeuw — en nodigt deelnemers uit om deel te nemen aan de bespreking van actuele vraagstukken binnen de Russische geschiedenis.
Na het afronden van de cursus verkrijgen de deelnemers een gestructureerd overzicht van de belangrijkste fasen van de Russische geschiedenis, gebaseerd op algemeen aanvaarde feiten en concepten binnen de historiografie.
De geschiedenis van Rusland heeft ook nu een directe invloed op het heden. Zij is nauw verbonden met de zelfidentificatie van de Russen, en historische gebeurtenissen worden vaak gebruikt om buitenlands beleid te verklaren. Daarom is het belangrijk te leren werken met historische bronnen, verbanden tussen gebeurtenissen te ontdekken en hun oorzaken en gevolgen te begrijpen.
Dat alles leren we in deze cursus. We stijgen uit boven losse gebeurtenissen en droge feiten en bekijken de geschiedenis van Rusland als een doorlopend en samenhangend proces.
Het programma is ontworpen voor 6 jaar studie. Elk jaar omvat 30 lessen van 60 minuten. Elke les bestaat uit een college gevolgd door een bespreking. Bij elke les wordt een kort videofragment aangeboden om een specifiek evenement of probleem te bespreken.
De lessen vinden één keer per week plaats via ZOOM.
