The Center for Open Education in Russian and Russian Language Teaching opens in Cameroon
The delegation of the Russian Language Institute of RUDN University arrived in Africa last weekend. Within two weeks, the staff of the Institute will hold meetings with schoolchildren, students and school leaders of the Republic of Cameroon and the Central African Republic. A very busy agenda awaits the students of the Center. It will include three courses in Russian as a foreign language and a series of events that will allow them to become more familiar with the history and culture of Russia. In addition, citizens of Cameroon will be able to watch Russian and Soviet films in French, which the “Russkiy Mir” Foundation presented to the “Social Support for Tourism and Education” organization.
“This event is important for the development of Russian-African educational cooperation. In the near future, in this center, schoolchildren and students will be able to get acquainted with the culture and history of Russia, learn the Russian language, and learn about the possibilities of obtaining higher education in Russia,” said Svetlana Elnikova, Deputy Director of the Russian Language Institute, RUDN University.
