The participants of the Summer School - international and Russian students, will learn how people of different cultures, mentalities and religions live, work and study, how they organize their life and celebrate holidays. At the close of the Summer School, the participants will prepare a booklet (an event photo report) on everything they saw and heard during the sightseeing tours of the cities: Tyumen, Tobolsk and Yalutorovsk.
