Russkiy Mir Foundation Presented Books to the Center of Further Education of the Russian House in Hurghada


02.02.2010

The Russkiy Mir Foundation presented a collection of books to the Center of Further Education of the Russian House in Hurghada at the 42nd Cairo International Book Fair. The books will be used as a basic library of the future Russian Room, which the foundation is planning to open in Hurghada.

The ceremony was attended by Director of Regional Programs Division of the Russkiy Mir Foundation Georgy Toloraya, Head of Department of Educational Projects Irina Stepanova, Head of the Russian House Fatima Basieva, guests and visitors of the book fair.

A day before the foundation conducted a number of educational sessions devoted to Russia, its culture and traditions, e.g. Irina Stepanova told the audience about the Russian Maslenitsa (a Pancake Week) and about recipes of pancakes. The key goal of this lesson was to boost interest to the Russian language in a non-standard way.

Other initiatives implemented during the book fair included a roundtable “Russkiy Mir in Egypt”. Among the discussed issues were the foundation’s history and activities, its grant programs and projects – the Russian Rooms and the Russian Centers.
