Event Description

27 серпня. День шахтаря в Україні

В Україні День шахтаря було встановлено у 1993 році. Найглибша вугільна шахта України розташована в місті Шахтарську і має глибину 1546 м. Професія шахтаря одна з найважчих, найнебезпечніших та шкідливих для здоров’я людини, але на шахтах працює багато людей по всьому світу. Шахтарі видобувають вугілля для всієї країни, їхня праця потрібна та дуже важлива.

Слово дня: “КОПАЛЬНЯ” -  система підземних споруд для добування корисних копалин.

На території копальні знайдено цікаві археологічні реліквії, що свідчать про давню культуру.
