'Total immersion' offered for teens

SASKATOON, Saskatchewan - High school students from across Canada, the United States and Ukraine on July 2 will begin their five-week quest titled "Mohyla - The Ukrainian Total Immersion Program."

Each year, students embark on a journey of knowledge and fun in a Ukrainian-immersed environment. This gives the program a unique perspective with both national and international students.

Students are asked to bring their enthusiasm, talent and a desire to learn and speak Ukrainian at all times. Accredited courses in Ukrainian 9, 10, 11 and 12 keep the students busy in the morning hours. Creative language, arts, crafts and sports are instructed by monitors in the afternoon; rounding off daily activities are singing, dancing, drama and orchestra.

The Ukrainian Language Immersion Program is a unique and exciting program that complements existing bilingual and heritage language programs. Knowledge of Ukrainian is not a prerequisite.

The Mohyla Institute of Saskatoon encourages individuals and organizations to sponsor a student or students from their areas: the students, will have one of the most memorable experiences of their lives, and the community will gain educated and informed future community leaders.

Program inquiries may be directed to: Mohyla Institute, 1240 Temperance St., Saskatoon, Saskatchewan S7N 0P1 Canada; telephone, (306) 653-1944; fax, (306) 653-1902.
