African students from SevSU took part in the opening of the International Media Festival «Time Travelers»!

The Time Travelers International Media Festival is not just an event, but a creative laboratory where new formats of content about Russian history are created for the whole world.

On February 1, participants in the media festival gathered at the Russia – My History mobile historical park, where they began working on videos for an international audience. They started with a practical intensive course from experts:

Alexandra Luchkovskaya, videographer and editor, used real-life examples to explain how to create a compelling script and hold the viewer's attention until the very last second.

Elizaveta Tsokur, head of the International Friendship Club, revealed the secrets of working with foreign audiences: what interests young people studying Russian, and how to make content truly engaging.

Daria Sirota, historical consultant, not only conducted the tour, but also provided tools for creating authentic historical content: where to find sources and how to use them.

A special event of the day was an excursion for foreign students from Senegal, the Central African Republic, and the Congo! They immersed themselves in the key milestones of Russian history and saw the beauty of our nature in the film "Flying Over the World: Wonders of Russian Nature" using VR technology.
