The International Volunteer Forum brought together enthusiasts, speakers and expert volunteers, representatives of ministries, socially oriented non-profit organizations and charity foundations from different countries.
The participants of the forum attended discussions and workshops held by leading experts in the sphere of volunteering, specialized discussion sessions on identifying key problems in the society and possible volunteer assistance to solve them, a session on networking and international cooperation, an exhibition of public associations and social initiatives.
Ekaterina Abrzhina, Faculty of Management: “The forum schedule was very busy. I absolutely loved the good vibes! Everyone was ready to share their experience, knowledge, and positive thoughts”.
Daniil Kirgizov, Faculty of Technology and Economics: “The atmosphere at the forum was fantastic! After all, it was here that the kindest people of the whole world came together. Not only did I gain a lot of useful experience, but also practiced foreign languages. Listening to lectures of foreign speakers was a completely new experience for me! ”
Anna Yakovleva, Faculty of Management: “The forum really gives you a boost! I would like to thank my alma mater for the opportunity to participate in such a bright event! The lectures were designed in such a way as to change your perspective altogether. We had the opportunity to interact with the speaker right during the lectures, for example, I had a chance to ask Nikolai Tsiskaridze a question. I was very pleased with the opportunity to listen to people who have achieved soaring heights in their lives. The most important message of the event was: “A good deed is never lost”.
