In the Nenets vocational school held a festival of national cultures

In the Year of the Unity of the Peoples of Russia, the Festival of National Cultures “Friendship of Peoples” was held in the Nenets Vocational School. The main goal of the event is patriotic education of young people, strengthening interethnic harmony and acquaintance with the diversity of cultures, traditions and customs existing in our country.

Mentors of the school and adviser to the director of education prepared a large-scale and incredibly heartfelt holiday. The guests and participants were representatives of the Tatar-Bashkir, Dagestani, Tajik and Uzbek diasporas, as well as friends of the school from the Republic of Komi and the Republic of Belarus.

The event opened with the performance of the State Anthem of the Russian Federation. Guests, students and their families were able to make a gastronomic trip, getting acquainted with Russian, Nenets, Pomeranian, Mari, Uzbek, Belarusian and other cuisines that were presented at the festival.

The festival has become an effective platform for intercultural dialogue and the formation of respect for the history and culture of the peoples of the country among students. The symbolic conclusion of the event was the “Friendship Choir”, demonstrating the unity of the participants.

At the festival “Friendship of Peoples”, our sports hall became a common home, where different traditions met at the same table, because we have much more in common than it seems. Students watched performances and tasted dishes, learned to hear each other, appreciate other people’s culture and enjoy it. Thank you to our guests for their trust: you shared the most expensive – your traditions, said Olga Malysheva, Advisor to the Director for Education of the Nenets Vocational School.
