At the invitation of Baranovichi State University, Andrei Prokhorov, Professor of the Department of Journalism, Advertising, and Public Relations, and Sergei Khomutinkin, Associate Professor of the Department of Sociology, Political Science, and International Relations, delivered lectures to students of the partner university.
Baranovichi State University has been a partner of Tambov State University named after G.R. Derzhavin for over 15 years in the implementation of scientific and educational projects. This visit opened a new line of cooperation – collaboration through the "Knowledge" Societies of the two countries. The representatives of Derzhavin University and Alexander Unsovich, Rector of Baranovichi State University and Chairman of the Baranovichi branch of the Belarusian "Knowledge" Society, discussed educational activities in the context of a broader goal: expanding humanitarian cooperation between Russia and Belarus.
"I prepared my speech specifically for this visit," said Sergei Khomutinkin. "The two main topics were the development trends of the Union State of Russia and Belarus, primarily the formation of a single economic space, and the Tambov Region’s place in these integration processes."
Over 600 students from the Faculty of Engineering, the Faculty of Linguistics, the Faculty of Pedagogy and Psychology, and the Faculty of Economics and Law at Baranovichi State University attended lectures by Derzhavin University scholars.
"The topics of my lectures at Baranovichi State University were related to aspects of the functioning of the media environment of modern universities and the specifics of PR activities of organizations and enterprises, including those in the industrial sector. Communication with future teachers, engineers, and linguists showed that this topic is of interest to students in the context of their professional development," noted Andrei Prokhorov.
Furthermore, a roundtable discussion was held to discuss possible areas of cooperation and practical work within the framework of the Russian Society "Knowledge" and the Belarusian Society "Knowledge" in Tambov and Baranovichi..
