Traditionally, at the end of the year, Derzhavin University held a series of teleconferences with schools from Uzbekistan and Serbia. Students of the private school “Istiqbolli ta'lim” (Samarkand, Uzbekistan) introduced the meeting participants to the traditions of celebrating the New Year in Uzbekistan, presented dance performances, recited poems, and sing New Year's ditties.
Pupils of the 8th grade of the Stevan Sindjelic basic school (Veliki Popovic, Serbia) read New Year's poems in Russian and sang a song in Serbian.
Students of the Faculty of Culture and Arts of Derzhavin University performed in front of the teleconference participants with an interactive fairy tale “One day on New Year’s Eve!” Anna Sizemina, a laureate of all-Russian and international competitions, a student of Lyceum No. 14 in Tambov, sang a Russian folk song and played the gusli.
“Derzhavin University regularly holds meetings with schoolchildren from Uzbekistan and Serbia” said Yana Radyukova, vice-rector for project-based learning and additional education at Derzhavin University. – Derzhavin University is a modern multinational innovative educational platform. It is no coincidence that in recent years the university has been actively working to promote Russian education and Russian culture abroad. Meetings of this kind truly erase the boundaries between countries and national differences, helping to achieve cultural and spiritual unity. Schoolchildren and students enthusiastically shared their knowledge and sought to share the traditions of celebrating the New Year of their countries. Derzhavin University successfully fulfills its cultural and educational
mission in the international space, which allows us to bring fraternal peoples closer together and introduce foreign schoolchildren to the Tambov region and Russia.
