Students from different countries of the world start the Fountain of the Russian University of Peoples' Friendship
A touching symbol of the ceremony was RUDN University paper boats sailed by dozens of students from Russia, Asia, Africa, Latin America, Europe and Arab countries as symbols of success, dreams, wishes of happiness to the world. The program of the event was continued by a dance flashmob under umbrellas - even the rain did not scare the students!
The fountain complex is a gift of the Moscow Government to the University, the opening ceremony was held in 2001. The grandiose two-level composition impresses at first sight. From the bottom of the first level, vertical "geysers" rise, while the upper part is a pool with a smooth water surface with the area of 2,500 sq.m.
On a Sunday winter day at the exhibition named “Russia” RUDN University gathered students, partners, colleagues, and organized lectures under the title “We are different! We are equal! We are together!” The event took place in Pavilion 57 on the platform of the Russian Society “Znanie”. And on this day the hall was jam-packed.
The event was attended by more than 350 students from Russia, Bahrain, Egypt, Yemen, Libya, Mauritania, Morocco, and Tunisia. The students organized an exhibition of the fraternity, introducing the guests to national dances, treating them to Algerian coffee, Arabic sweets and talked about the culture and history of the people of the country. The week ended with a futsal tournament.
