They came to Ekaterinburg as part of the "Hello, Russia!" program

On June 5, the participants of the "Hello, Russia!" program flew to Ekaterinburg. Young compatriots from Abkhazia, Belarus, Germany, Serbia, Uzbekistan and South Ossetia took part in national games and presented their countries at a festive concert.

An important event of the day was a meeting with representatives of the regional government, members of UNESCO clubs and youth leaders of the Urals capital.

Valery Falkov, the Russian Minister of Science and Higher Education, Evgeny Kuyvashev, the Governor of the Sverdlovsk Region, and Victor Koksharov, the rector of the Ural Federal University, met with a group of foreign students and visited the construction site of the new UFU campus. The children admitted that they were impressed by the future campus of the Ural Federal University.

On June 9 the guests visited the Ural Institute of Humanities of the Ural Federal University where they met with the representatives of the university who told them about the advantages and prospects of admission to our university.

A separate event was a mini-model of the United Nations, held for the guests by the activists of the Ekaterinburg International United Nations Model Club. Before the start of the model, the experienced moderators conducted a short quiz on the knowledge of the UN, as well as talked about the peculiarities of models of different committees, writing positions and hearing them. Despite the extremely tight session timeline, the students successfully coped with the task, showing a high score.

"First of all, I would like to thank all the organizers for the opportunity to participate! At the event we were able to communicate with representatives of other countries, which aroused incredible emotions and gave motivation to continue the activities within the model! The participants worked very hard on the performances, it was very interesting to work with them. It was also a chance to perform in public, to show their public speaking skills, to try intercultural communication. I was definitely satisfied, it would be great if such events were held as often as possible," said Anastasia Arapova, one of the organizers of the dialogue between the guests and the representatives of the EIMUN Club.

We hope that the guests were impressed by Ekaterinburg! We look forward to seeing them again at UrFU!
