The closing ceremony was held with the participation of the Vice-Rector for External Relations Timirkhan Alishev and Director of the Department of External Relations Olga Vershinina.
This project is being implemented by the Kazan Federal University with the support of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation and the Federal State Budgetary Institution “Sociocenter.” In his speech, the Vice-Rector for External Relations Timirkhan Alishev noted that the participants who came from 13 countries showed themselves not only in the field of science and education, but also in cultural aspects. This suggests that the university is a place of creative self-realization for young people.
This year, 400 students from 13 countries of the world such as Abkhazia, Azerbaijan, the Republic of Belarus, South Africa, Brazil, China, India, Iran, Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan and, of course, Russia took part in the project. A cultural program, a presentation of the countries participating in the Global Village, was provided to welcome and integrate foreign guests.
