KSUAE hosted another meeting of foreign students in the speaking club "Let's speak Russian"

The speaking club "Let's speak Russian" for foreign students of KSUAE continues its activities. The goal of the club is the socio-cultural adaptation of foreign students of KSUAE in the educational environment, improving their interaction with Russian students, as well as increasing interest in the Russian language and overcoming the language barrier.

On April 10, 2025, the next meeting of the club was held, in which foreign students of KSUAE from Ecuador, Turkey, Peru, Mauritania, Madagascar, Côte d'Ivoire, Morocco, Ghana, Tunisia, Nigeria, Turkmenistan, including students of the preparatory course of the Russian language, as well as their teachers took part. In addition, a group of Russian first-year students of the Institute of Construction of KSUAE took an active part in the event.

At the beginning of the meeting, Russian and foreign students got acquainted and communicated in pairs. Russian students prepared presentations about Kazan and Tatarstan, cultural traditions, attractions and national cuisine. Based on these presentations, the foreign students played an exciting quiz game, dividing into teams and answering questions.

Another topic for communication was the discussion of the diversity of gestures in different countries of the world and Russia. Foreign participants of the meeting shared the features of gestures used in their country, and also played a silent game in teams to guess the objects or animals by facial expressions and gestures. Everyone quickly got involved in the game, which turned out to be funny and entertaining.

The program of the meeting contributed to the creation of a friendly atmosphere and enrichment of cultural horizons. Foreign students actively used their Russian speaking skills, overcoming the language barrier and expanding their vocabulary.

The conversation club "Let's speak Russian" is glad to have new members and invites all interested foreign students, as well as Russian students, to join the club.

We express our deep gratitude to our Scientific and Educational Center "Urban planning" for their hospitality.

KSUAE students opened the festival "Student Spring 2025"

On April 8, 2025, a significant event took place — the opening of the annual festival "Student Spring". For the second year in a row, KSUAE opens this festival with its concert program.

In the concert program "Happiness is not beyond the horizon", the main character asks the question: What is happiness? In an attempt to find that very happiness, he goes through difficulties, through negative thoughts and even through himself. The main character's friends help him find happiness, demonstrating the possibility of finding happiness even where it seems impossible to find it. Even during war, in difficult conditions and circumstances, between life and death, you can find happiness. You have to believe, appreciate those who are near you, and go to victory! - this is the main idea of ​​the program. The directors managed to connect the theme of the student spring with the upcoming holiday of the 80th anniversary of the Victory. The performances reproduced the atmosphere of wartime, which helped to reveal the theme of the program.
