Overseas students tour the Town-Island of Sviyazhsk

The trip, organized by the International Friendship Club and the Preparatory School, was part of the Russia-Africa Forum.

Sviyazhsk is one of the major tourist attractions of the Volga Region of Russia and is one of the nation’s UNESCO World Heritage objects.

Director of the Sviyazhsk Museum Reserve Artyom Silkin accompanied the students to see an international expo of children’s drawings. The visitors toured the island and its many points of interest and listened to professional guides in Russian and English languages.

Master student Odoh Tochukwu Michael, a Nigerian national, shared, “The island really impresses with its history, architecture, and monumental heritage. I liked it very much.”

Malian student Tangara Noukhoum was of the same opinion, “I liked Svyiazhsk and learned many new things. I hope to join other such trips.”

As of today, KFU hosts over 10,000 international students from over 100 countries.
