An Island of Freedom
Success
After completing her Microsoft Unlimited Potential training, Natalya Kozlovskaya, a computer science teacher and one of the best alumni of the Kemerovo IDEA Center, began passing on her knowledge and skills to her evening school students, the inmates of the Mariinsky correctional facility for juvenile offenders.
Overview
When Natalya Kozlovskaya heard about the computer courses offered at the volunteer IDEA Center of Kemerovo's Youth Environmental Parliament, she signed up for the training and was one of the best alumni in her group. Now she teaches an elective in computer science for inmates of the Mariinsky correctional facility for juvenile offenders. Most of her students come from severely damaged and dysfunctional families, and many of them have never seen or used the computer or other basic modern conveniences and gadgets. For them Natalya’s computer training course has become “an island of freedom,” a special, highly valued place, full of hope and promises for the future, since for the inmates computer knowledge and skills can become a ticket to professional training and an important starting point for social rehabilitation, self-development and learning.
Natalya Kozlovskaya’s students have already mastered basic word processing skills and joined the editorial committee of the school paper “Our Voice,” where they now use the computer to write, edit and publish new issues.
