"Gastronomic Globe": Kislovodsk schoolchildren learned about the Institute of Foreign Languages ​​and International Tourism at PSU through the languages ​​and cuisines of the world.

The Institute of Foreign Languages ​​and International Tourism at PSU hosted students from School No. 2 in Kislovodsk, which offers advanced English language instruction. The meeting was part of the "School–University–Region" career guidance project.

The students were treated to an unusual culinary journey, during which foreign languages ​​became a tool for exploring culture, tourism, and the hospitality industry. The students presented a gastronomic guide to Kislovodsk in English, while teachers and native speakers from the Institute of Foreign Languages ​​and International Tourism introduced the guests to the culinary traditions of various countries and cultures.

"Gastronomic Globe" became a shining example of how learning languages ​​helps people discover the world, build intercultural dialogue, and take the first steps toward their future profession.
