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.
Also welcomed the participants:
- Simon Dupont, Head of the organization “Social Support for Tourism and Education” in the Republic of Cameroon;
- Pavel Shevtsov, Deputy Head of Rossotrudnichestvo.
The Center for Open Education in Russian and Russian Language Teaching in the Republic of Cameroon is organized under the auspices of the Ministry of Education of the Russian Federation.
In RUDN’s main building, Russian speech has mixed with Arabic and strict business suits with national attire. The reason for this is the 100th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Russia and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The university hosted a large-scale event “The Century of Friendship, Cultural and Scientific Exchange between the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the Russian Federation”, which brought together diplomats, scientists, rectors of leading universities, and students.
RUDN University delegation, led by the university's president Vladimir Filippov, paid an important official visit to China. The central events of the business visit were signing of a memorandum on the establishment of an International Scientific Center for Mathematics within the framework of the SCO University and awarding the title of Honorary Professor of Xi'an Jiaotong University to Vladimir Filippov. RUDN University also presented its educational potential at a world-class University Forum and a specialized exhibition.
