Recently, the Youth Educational Forum “Caspian” was held, in which Lina Dzhigkaeva, a 4th year student of the Institute of International Relations, was lucky to take part.

Caspian is a social and educational project aimed at increasing the competitiveness of leaders of youth structures of the regions of the Russian Federation and developing new models of work with young people, which took place from September 23 to 28.

Beautiful sunsets, warm splashes of salty sea, sunlight, hundreds of like-minded people, knowledge and cool pastime - this and much more awaited Lina at the forum.

During her stay, the SSIA activist managed to attend various sessions, master classes and lectures from famous Russian speakers.
