Students from the Institute of Foreign Languages and International Tourism at PSU took part in the “Mountain Friendship” student tourism gathering in North Ossetia.

“Mountain Friendship” is a platform for the country's most active students, where new youth initiatives are discussed and the student tourism agenda is formed.

The support of the Russian Ministry of Science and Higher Education gives the gathering strategic status and opens up new opportunities for future specialists in the industry.

The participation of PSU students in such a large-scale event was an important step in their professional development.
