The program of the online school also included a master class in arts and crafts, in which the students made their own hands a doll amulet.

– I really liked studying because the classes were conducted exclusively in Russian, said Mina Shigehatake, a student from Japan. – Sometimes it was a little difficult, but the teachers repeated several times and demonstrated visual images. Thanks to this methodology, my level of Russian improved significantly. 

– I really liked the master class on making the amulet doll! – Du Zhenyan, a student from China, stressed. 

Qi Yuehan, a student from China, noted the high quality of teaching:

– The classes were very useful; we were able to better understand the traditions and culture of Russia!
