In their turn, foreign students are involved in the celebration of state and national holidays of Belarus. We regularly work on socio-cultural and psychological adaptation of foreign citizens in a new country. Foreign students may experience difficulties with the educational material, therefore, an individual approach to learning is carried out in the classroom. Much attention is also paid to the organization and holding of extracurricular activities - special trips in Minsk and the famous places of Belarus. Individual and cultural characteristics of each student are important to us.
