Students and staff of YKSUG get acquainted with the history of Belarus

On June 28 and July 4, students and staff of Yanka Kupala State University of Grodno were welcomed by the hospitable Sula History Park.

Summer is the best time to explore new places and gain unforgettable impressions. Students of our university had the opportunity to learn more about the history of their native land in the most engaging ways. The excursion programmes included a boat trip along the Sula River, visits to a blacksmith's forge and a pottery workshop, and even real tests of strength and agility! They also managed to celebrate one of the most impressive traditional Belarusian holidays – Kupala Night. Weaving wreaths, dancing in circles, and searching for the mythical fern flower became essential elements of this magical evening.

The excursions were attended by students specialising in "Language Support of Intercultural Communication" and international students accompanied by staff of the Faculty of Psychology.

Student life is not only about lecture halls and desks, but also adventures, fun and new discoveries!
