Altai State University was assigned the status of a supporting university of Russian Language Ambassadors international program.

Russian Language Ambassadors international program has been implemented since 2015 on the initiative of Pushkin State Russian Language Institute. In 2016, Altai State University became a partner of this project in the framework of ASU Student Associations Development Program and joined the work in the Asian region.

In 2016, Altai State University conducted two expeditions to Shanghai: 12 people went there in October and 3 in December. In 2017, another expedition to China took place: Beijing, the capital of the republic, was visited by 4 representatives of the supporting university.

“Altai State University has a student, who has been working as a certified Russian ambassador for two years. Her name is Veronika Ozhogina and she is a student of the Faculty of Sociology. Literally two weeks ago we got a second certified ambassador, a student of the Faculty of Mass Communications, Philology and Political Science Yevgeniya Yaroshenko,” Head of the Department for Extracurricular and Educational Work of Altai State University Anton A. Tselevich said. “At present, there are 13 sites in Russia that are involved in Russian Language Ambassadors program. It is gratifying that our university has become the supporting university of this project. It has become possible because ASU is one of the few universities in the country that have already organized several projects in the framework of the program within two years.”

By virtue of the received status, Altai State University will become an instructional and informatory platform for the Russian Language Ambassadors international volunteer program in Altai Krai.

It is to be added that in 2018 ASU plans to conduct a large expedition of Russian ambassadors to China and organize a basic expert site dedicated to the implementation of Russian Language Ambassadors program within the framework of the next Altai-Asia International Educational Forum.
