Events

Winter holidays at the university are an excellent opportunity to get acquainted with the cultural heritage of the Republic of Belarus! That is why the VSMU students trade union committee together with the Faculty of Overseas Students Training of VSMU organized an excursion to Polotsk for first-year foreign students who arrived in Belarus from faraway and warm Sri Lanka.

As part of the excursion, the students visited two significant places for the history of Belarus - St. Sophia Cathedral and the Museum of Belarusian Book-Printing. Both of these places are important for our cultural heritage and were chosen not by chance. So the students got acquainted not only with the architectural monuments of the Polotsk land, but also with two of its prime representatives. St. Sophia Cathedral is rightfully considered the jewel of the architectural heritage of our country. During the tour around the Cathedral, students listened to stories about the history of this wonderful place, heard a couple of legends associated with it, and got acquainted with Euphrosyne of Polotsk, whose famous relic - the cross of Euphrosyne of Polotsk, was kept for some time in the cathedral.

On December 4, 2021, The Center for National Cultures and the Fashion Theater “Kostyumer” held a master class on making a Krupenichka talisman doll in the concert hall “Vitebsk”.

Krupenichka is a doll that brings prosperity and well-being to the house, creating warmth and comfort in it. These dolls were made in their own way in each family, investing all the love and accumulated centuries-old wisdom. They bore the imprint of the spirit of this family, their understanding and perception of the world. 

Krupenichka was considered to be the main doll in the family. Our ancestors richly dressed it up and carefully kept it for a year in the most prominent place in the house.

Thanks to this event, foreign students were able to get acquainted with the culture and traditions of our country.
