EXPERIENCE IN DETAIL: KUPALA UNIVERSITY REPRESENTATIVES PAY FAMILIARIZATION VISIT TO CONFUCIUS INSTITUTE AT BREST STATE A. PUSHKIN UNIVERSITY

On 29 October, a delegation from Yanka Kupala State University of Grodno paid a familiarization visit to the Confucius Institute at Brest State A. Pushkin University.

The delegation included Liavontsi Paulau, Vice-Rector for Academic Affairs, Viachaslau Ramanenka, Vice-Rector, Nastassia Dudzko, Head of the Department of English Philology, Alesya Belko, Deputy Head of the Education Internationalization Centre, Volha Minava, Head of the International Cooperation Department, Natalia Litskevich Lead Accountant, and Lyudmila Nichipor, Lead Legal Counsel.

The main purpose of the trip was to study the specifics of the organization, structure, and key operational features of the Confucius Institute. During the meetings, the Brest colleagues shared in detail their successful experience in implementing international educational projects, promoting the Chinese language and culture, and effectively managing the center's internal processes.

This visit is of significant strategic importance for Yanka Kupala State University of Grodno. Recall that in June 2026, a large-scale initiative was presented under which Yanka Kupala State University of Grodno, in cooperation with Xinjiang Normal University, is actively working to establish its own full-fledged Confucius Institute. Studying the experience of their Brest colleagues will allow our staff to apply the best domestic practices when deploying the new center in Grodno.

The working visit served as an excellent platform for exchanging practical experience, strengthening inter-university ties, and discussing prospects for further cooperation in the academic, educational, and cultural spheres.
