Valeria Nemankova, a second-year master’s student in the Producing in Creative Industries program at the State University of Management, presented a humorous project at the 4th International Student Media Meeting, which took place from September 23 to 27 in the Kaluga region at the Ethnopark “Ethnomir”.
The project is a mobile application. With its help, a foreigner humorously discovers Russian superstitions and everyday traditions of our country. The work received high praise from the experts at the meeting for its creative idea and quality visualization.
The event program was intense: four days of lectures from leading media industry experts, master classes, and work in international teams. Participants enhanced their professional skills, discussed the prospects for developing intercultural dialogue, and promoting the Russian language.
The highlight of the forum was the media projects competition. Teams had to shoot a two-minute video on the theme “The Russian Code for Foreigners” within a limited time. In addition to the competition program, participants attended masterclasses from industry professionals, including representatives from RT, NTV, Russia-1, VK, and other major media organizations.
One of the most emotional moments of the trip for Valeria was visiting the “1418 Steps to Victory” museum in the Patriot Park. “What stood out most was that the museum has a database of everyone who fought for the Motherland. I was able to find my grandfather’s brothers who went to the front there. I think many participants were moved by this opportunity to connect with their family history,” shared the student of the State University of Management.
Congratulations to Valeria on her successful participation in the forum and we wish her new creative victories!
