Gabbasova Almira, a fifth year student, Faculty of History and Geography:

“A lot happened during the four days of the rally. We got so many impressions, we saw a lot, all is hard to describe! And everything happened due to the meeting! I liked it when the events took place in different parts of Petrozavodsk, thanks to it we were always on the move - we could see the sights, explore the city.

Every day we had interesting workshops: “Exploring Antarctic together,” “Conserving rare and endangered species” and others. We had an opportunity to share the results of the projects, to share our plans and challenges with other people at “Interactive approaches to environmental education.”

Rafikova Landysh - a fifth year student, Faculty of History and Geography:

“Our delegation took part in such workshops as “Environmental Journalism,” “The Operational Coordination Group “Orlan,” “Entrepreneurship,” “Media and social networks,” “Quests” and “Green Robots.” We were provided with effective tools and interesting approaches to work, we are going to apply them in solving the problems in our territories.”
