The closing ceremony of the Summer School started with the “Festival of cultures” — students from every participating university presented their home country.

Students from Japan talked on the peculiarities of Japanese cuisine and compared it with Russian. The team from China introduced the audience to their hometown of Guangzhou: its economic status, its geographical location and most striking sights.

On the previous days, the students attended online lectures about Russian culture, Russian law and Physical sciences. The school offered several workshops. The one on sewing Russian folk dolls generated the deepest interest. Abbos Juraev from Tashkent Transport University and Masaru Hiroishi from Hiroshima University mastered their skills at home and then sent photos of their works.
