Student of Naberezhnye Chelny State Pedagogical University is part of volunteer corps of World Festival of Youth

The Volunteer Corps of the Festival helped make the World Youth Festival unforgettable and get the guests familiar with hospitability and transparency of Russia during the event.

Olesya Sobesskaya, a student of the NCSPU Faculty of History and Geography, happened to work on the volunteer team.

“To become a Festival volunteer you had to do a lot of things: to apply, to be interviewed, tested and trained. We all had specific responsibilities. Our team was responsible for logistics: which included escorting the delegations and translating for them. It was a wonderful opportunity for me to practice my English speaking skills. I am happy I was part of the mega-scale event!”said Olesya.

To recall, the World Youth Festival has been the largest event this year. The Festival was held in Sochi, at “Sirius”. The closing ceremony was on March 7; the Festival brought together more than 20 thousand people who represented more than 190 countries.
