Students from Turkmenistan actively participated in the 12th International Festival "Common Sky," held at the Institute of Architecture and Construction at Volgograd State Technical University, Russia. This year, the event brought together hundreds of students from dozens of countries.

The "Common Sky" festival became a platform for public diplomacy, where representatives of different nationalities—including Turkmenistan, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Azerbaijan,China, and Jordan—introduced each other to the customs, traditions, and cultural characteristics of their countries.

Of particular interest was the national food festival, where students treated guests to traditional Turkmen dishes, demonstrating their country's culinary hospitality.

Students participated in board game, football, and tug-of-war tournaments, strengthening friendships through sport.

The organizers also held a roundtable discussion to discuss important issues of interethnic interaction, principles of behavior in another country, and the establishment of cultural ties.

Participants from Turkmenistan performed in the final concert, presenting their national costumes, songs, and dances to a packed audience.

The participation of Turkmen youth in such events underscores Turkmenistan's commitment to the principles of peace, good neighborliness, and cultural dialogue at all levels, including among students.
