30th anniversary of UNITWIN / UNESCO Chairs Cooperation Program

On September 29, 2022, a special session, dedicated to the 30th anniversary of the UNITWIN / UNESCO Chairs Cooperation Program. The session was organized by the Secretariat of Commission of the Russian Federation for UNESCO, together with Tisby University (Kazan), both offline and online. About 60 representatives of UNESCO chairs from many Russian regions, ranging from State Yakut University in the East to Federal Northern Arctic University in the West, took part in the session. Our chair was represented by the chairperson, D.Spivak, who briefly reviewed the main directions of our recent activities. Monitoring present-day state of interfaith dialogue and intercultural rapprochement in the North Caucasus, and giving a new impetus to our relations with the academic community of Kazakhstan, and of Central Asia as a whole, served as the focal points.
