It is great that we host international students from Grodno State Medical University every year. Competitions are always held in a very warm atmosphere. Although everyone wants to win, all the guys are good friends.

    - Thus, four teams were involved in the tournament. All of us were happy to take the field and fight for victory. Of course, an important part of this event is communication. It was great to meet at the match, to get congratulations from the Belarusians, Uzbeks and Iraqis on the Independence Day of Turkmenistan. We always look forward to this tournament and think that celebrating the holiday of our country with a sporting event is a great idea," said Gosha Sahedov (Turkmenistan), Chairman of Fraternities of International Students of Yanka Kupala State University of Grodno.

I was glad to be a guest of the students from Yanka Kupala University, - shared Mergen.

As a result, the team of students from Uzbekistan won bronze, Turkmen students from GrSMU won silver and the winners of gold were Kupala students from Turkmenistan.

    Project and Startup Studio opened its season at Yanka Kupala State University of Grodno

    More than 100 students came to find out in which areas the studio works and what educational programs it offers. By the way, two new educational programs were presented this year.
    For the first time the Project and Startup Studio began its work in 2019. One of the main goals of this fruitful environment for young entrepreneurs is to involve young people in project activities. Here experts help take the first steps toward successful startups. Until this year, the studio offered two educational programs. "Tools for Creative Thinking" is great for students who want to create their own product, but don't yet know how to generate a working idea and what project activity is all about. If a Kupala student has an idea of how they see their project, then the program "From Idea to Business" will suit them, where they will be told how to enter the market with a specific idea. By the way, these two programs have become the most popular ones.
    But in addition to these, the Project and Startup Studio presented two new programs. "The Research Program is great for those who see themselves as specialists in scientific activities. And here the speakers offer not only classical methodology, with which the students are acquainted while writing their term and graduation papers. At classes Kupala students will get acquainted in details with an artificial intellect and robotics, nuclear and thermonuclear power, discuss science fiction in films, books and computer games and basic scientific myths. Classes will run throughout the school year. During this time, students will significantly raise their skills and take a new look at the world of science.
    The studio made sure that creative people also get involved in project activities and the startup movement. So, students of the "Creative program" get acquainted with computer graphics, advertising, photo and video, learn what is storytelling and SMM. And what is equally important, the students will be told about time-management and different planning systems, which is especially important for creative people.
    - In today's world, there is no lack of information. People of the XXI century face another problem - its excess and inability to choose high-quality educational content, - says the head of the Studio of projects and startups Elena Razova. - In our studio these questions disappear by themselves. Practitioners come to the audience only with actual and verified data, which will help young people to find their niche in the project activity. Students get basic business competences, they understand where to go and what directions are the most interesting for them.
    Students who have already achieved some success also come to the Studio. For example, the guys who have created the project "RC-Park" and won "Business innovation" nomination in the contest of student startup projects "InNaStart" will study the project sphere in this stream.
    For now, students still have the opportunity to enroll in the studio of projects and startups. Enrollment will close on September 30, and the first mittups will take place on October 2. You are invited to participate.
