KRSU determined the winners of the project competition within the framework of the International Historical School
On October 15, the closing ceremony of the International Youth Historical School took place in the conference hall of the main building of the Kyrgyz-Russian Slavic University. For a whole week, its students – students from Russia, Belarus, Kyrgyzstan, Armenia, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Indonesia, Hungary, Greece, Georgia, Italy, Montenegro, Bulgaria, Sweden, Serbia, Cuba, North Korea and North Macedonia – participated in round tables and discussions with leading Russian and Kyrgyz scientists, attended lectures, created projects on thematic tracks «Culture», «Knowledge», «Connections» and «Memory».
After the presentation of collective ideas, the jury, which included acting by the rector of KRSU Denis Fomin-Nilov, reviewed the work of the MISH participants. As a result, the project «New Nomads» – mobile application with non-trivial routes around Kyrgyzstan (track «Culture») won. Among the team members are – KRSU students Anzhelika Ivanskaya, Vladislav Barkov (both – Faculty of Humanities) and Aslan Uzakov (FMO). The curators of the winning project were Kristina Scriabina and Pavel Alexandrov (GAUGN).
Angelika Ivanskaya, student of the Department of Philosophy and Religious Studies KRSU:
– Project goal «New nomads» – formation of modern tourist study programs in Kyrgyzstan, including visits to various historical places, cultural sites, and natural landscapes. Solving the issue of further development of tourism, as well as in order to introduce residents of Kyrgyzstan and tourists to the historical, cultural and ethnographic heritage of our country, we laid out routes that could reflect the history and culture of Kyrgyzstan. Thus, a number of routes were created: «Manas», «Kitchen», «Music», «Poster» and «Sports». Interestingly, the direction «Music» works with help Chat GPT, which builds a route based on user-uploaded national Kyrgyz music.
As for the international school, I think that the organizer managed to form an objective understanding of history among the students. The scientists' lectures were relevant and important in light of numerous attempts to distort history. In addition to the intensive educational program, we went to the Ala-Archa gorge and also visited the National Historical Museum of the Kyrgyz Republic. The trips helped restore mental strength, communicate with teammates and other participants. The week flew by unnoticed and it was sad to part with new friends. I hope that such schools will become a good tradition, and at one of them we will gather as a whole again!
