EthnoSouth-2022 united students of different cultures

In the Year of Folk Art and Intangible Cultural Heritage of the Peoples of Russia, the EthnoSouth-2022 student festival was held in Volgograd State University.

For three days, Volgograd State University has been welcoming guests from Astrakhan State University and Southern Federal University. The main goal of the festival is to introduce students to the culture and traditional art of the peoples of the South of Russia.

Vice-Rector for Academic Affairs of VolSU Dmitry Ilyin opened the festival with a welcoming speech on behalf of the Rector of VolSU, Professor Alla Kalinina:
"EthnoSouth has become a wonderful platform for meetings of representatives of various cultures. The Volgograd region is unique because representatives of more than 120 peoples live on its territory. Russian culture has always been famous for the unique interaction of different languages and cultures and in this fusion they did not dissolve, but preserved their identity, mutually enriching one another. All this contributes to harmony and peace in our multinational country. It is great to see that representatives of many nationalities at VolSU do not forget their roots. Our international students hold weeks of different languages and cultures, celebrate Chinese New Year and Nowruz, organize festivals of cultures of Indonesian peoples. All these events arouse interest and help to get to know the cultures of different countries better."

Chairman of the Culture Committee of the Volgograd Administration Dmitry Polyanin congratulated the students: "Development of interethnic relations has always been important and relevant at our city, on the territory of which representatives of various nationalities have lived in peace and harmony for many centuries. I am sure that the EthnoSouth student festival will become an important event in the social and cultural life of Volgograd."

Director of the Institute of Philology and Intercultural Communication Marina Fadeeva gave an interesting lecture on the diversity of languages and cultures in modern world.
