KARACHI: The English Speaking Union of Pakistan (ESUP) on Thursday held its first hybrid event in which, keeping in mind Covid-19 SOPs, some guests were welcomed at a hotel here while others, including the guest speaker, joined in via Zoom.
The guest speaker at this virtual/physical event was the ambassador of the Republic of Turkey Ihsan Mustafa Yurdakul, joining in from Islamabad, to share his views on the foreign policy of Turkey and Turkey-Pakistan bilateral relations.
He said that the year 2020 was difficult but it was the strength and resilience of his country and its people, politically, economically and region-wise, which helped them get past the difficulties. He said that since Turkey cannot isolate itself from what happens around it, it has been also lending a helping hand to other countries in the form of humanitarian aid.
WOOD RIVER JCT. â The pandemic has impacted almost every Chariho activity, including the districtâs 10th annual Shakespeare Competition. But as everyone in the performing arts knows, the show must go on, so the competition took place virtually last Thursday.
Four students competed this year and a team of judges chose a winner based on each studentâs score.Â
Mya Card, a junior, sophomore Isaiah Planck, junior Christian Sullivan and freshman Regan Clark each presented a monologue from a Shakespeare play as well as a sonnet.
English teacher and Shakespeare Club adviser Sandra Laub hosted the event.
âWe have rehearsed and prepared for this day in accordance with the guidelines set forth by the English-speaking Union, a 100-year-old national organization,â she said. âWhat a strange and genius adaptation this year has been for everybody, and I want to thank those students, all four of you, for joining us in this unusual year in Shakespeare.â
