National exhibitions, Arabic sweets and a reading competition: RUDN University hosts Days of Culture of students from Lebanon

November 19–25, RUDN University hosted Days of Culture days for students from Lebanon. This year the events were held in honor of the 80th anniversary of the independence of the Lebanese Republic. More than 650 students from different countries took part in the festivity: Algeria, Bahrain, Egypt, Jordan, Yemen, Libya, Mauritania, Morocco, Oman, Palestine, Sudan and Tunisia.

The program of the Culture Days for Lebanese students was intense including national exhibitions, a poetry evening, a futsal tournament, a Tasty Festival and a concert. There was live music, and representatives of the fraternity performed national dances along with the guests. At the exhibitions, students from Lebanon talked about the culture of their country and treated guests to coffee and Arabic sweets. The poetry evening featured a reading competition won by Raman Hamdan. The audience also competed in eloquence — after the main program, the guests went on stage and impromptu recited poems for the girls. Traditional Lebanese dishes were prepared at the Tasty Festival, while the sports program included a futsal tournament.

“I congratulate all the Lebanese on the 80th anniversary of the independence of the Lebanese Republic. Peoples’ Friendship University of Russia is a leading and respected university that has always been ahead of its time and trained experts in many fields. It is one of the most prestigious universities in Russia, renowned for its contributions to the humanities, law, arts, engineering and medicine. Graduates of this university are famous for their extensive knowledge, which they successfully apply all over the world,” Komaiha Abdel Hassan, president of the fraternity of RUDN students from the Lebanese Republic.

Mr. Wissam Subra, employee of the Embassy of the Lebanese Republic in the Russian Federation attended the event, which ended with a festive concert. Students performed Lebanese songs and dances, and the winners of the reading competition and futsal tournament received letters of acknowledgement.
