PSU's Institute of Foreign Languages ​​and International Tourism once again brought together schoolchildren, teachers, and representatives of educational institutions in the North Caucasus Federal District. This year, the festival included guests from Stavropol Krai and the Karachay-Cherkess Republic.

Seventeen master classes were organized for schoolchildren, covering foreign languages, culture, tourism, and future professions. Teachers also participated in two meetings where they discussed the professional identity of teachers and the challenges of teaching in the age of artificial intelligence.

The festival provided prospective students with an opportunity to get to know PSU better, learn more about their chosen programs, and take another step toward making an informed career choice.
