The decoration of the evening was a romance to the poems of A.S. Pushkin, performed by Anna Bizyaeva, laureate of all-Russian and international competitions, winner of the Gold Medal of the Delphic Games, winner of the international project «On the Wings of Talent».

In her closing speech, the head of the department, Saule Abisheva, thanked the guests and participants of the meeting.
