Last Friday, September 22, the first Science Cafe meeting of the new academic year was held on the theme "Ecology and Art". The event raised the important issue of the importance of human activity in preserving the environment and the ability of art to influence and transform people's thinking.

The weather was favorable, so the Botanical Garden, next to which the Academy is located, was chosen as the meeting place. The students gathered in a common circle, discussed the problem, analyzed famous works of eco-art, held a game-practice: future art managers and artists with the help of improvised tools created crafts from materials that pollute the city space - disposable bags, plastic cups, etc. The students coped with the task perfectly. And, importantly, they thought about a project on environmental topics!
