TNMU Student Organized a Series of Lectures at the Korostyshiv Lyceum

Olena Iskra (MM-416), a student of TNMU Faculty of Medicine, in early February 2024, gave a lecture on the topic “Girls’ hygiene” for seventh-grade students of Lyceum No. 1 of the Korostyshiv City Council (Zhytomyr Region).

The purpose of the event was to tell schoolgirls about the hygiene of a teenage girl, personal hygiene products, how to use them correctly in everyday life, what hygienic procedures should be performed before and after the toilet, to explain about shaving, as well as medical products for care during menstruation.

During the lectures, the girls listened attentively and occasionally asked questions. The information was not new for all the students, because they were already familiar with some of it from everyday life. But still, this lecture was useful and interesting for them, because the relevance of hygiene is widespread.

Also, at the beginning of February 2024, Olena Iskra gave a lecture “All about electronic cigarettes and energy drinks” for eighth-grade students of Lyceum No. 1 of the Korostyshiv City Council.

The purpose of the event “All about electronic cigarettes and energy drinks” was to familiarize students with what electronic cigarettes and energy drinks are, what substances they contain, why people develop addiction, what harm these devices and drinks can cause, and research was presented, the purpose of which was to convince children in the harmfulness of these things.

During this lecture, the children listened and actively participated in the discussion, asked questions about the harm of caffeine and coffee, and were interested in the content of energy substances.

After the lectures, the children learned the information and drew their own conclusions from it. It is most important that children understand the weight and benefit of the information they heard in class.
