How to Prepare for Summer Holidays at the Children’s Recreation Centre

The main purpose of the Children’s Recreation Centre is communication, recreation and development. There, children are engaged in creativity: they sing, draw, dance, stage performances and broaden their outlook. Educators help develop a sense of beauty and a desire for joint creative work. They can also meet the needs of children in gaming activities. The centre hosts outdoor educational games, quizzes, sporting events (traditional morning exercises, swimming in the pool, hiking, among others). Parents who are willing to send their children to the centre to spend their vacation need not only to provide them with the necessary everyday things, but also to explain the rules of behaviour indoors and outdoors: at sea, on a hike and in an amusement park. In addition, they need to remind about the current rules of personal and public hygiene (not to forget to brush their teeth, wash their hands before eating, or at least dry their hands thoroughly with wet wipes, wash fruit and berries, drink bottled water, take a shower after the sea and others), inform about safety rules in the heat (wear a cap, light clothing, not to stay in the sun for a long time) and talk about caution when contacting with unfamiliar plants and insects.

The Constitution of Turkmenistan is 30 years old. Over the years, much has changed in the life of our society and state, the national legislation has been significantly modernised, and modern laws and other regulatory legal acts have been adopted, which greatly contribute to the development of state and public institutions.

Parliamentary diplomacy of Turkmenistan

In different years of its history, the Turkmen parliament was called differently – the Supreme Council before gaining independence and the Mejlis after gaining it. At the same time, for all the years since its formation, the national Parliament of Turkmenistan has maintained its originality and legal culture and has developed the national parliamentary system. Parliament is a nationwide representative institution of the state, exercising legislative functions; it is the highest elected legislature.

The revival of effective parliamentary system in Turkmenistan began in 2007 and was associated with the reforms in all spheres of the society and state under the leadership of the respected Arkadag.
