Students of ASU Provide Media Coverage for Sabantuy Holiday

On May 13, 2018, people of Astrakhan celebrated Sabantuy, one of the most ancient ethnic holidays in our region. As usual, students of the Department of Philology & Journalism of Astrakhan State University prepared media materials to publish on the federal web site “National Accent”.

In April, our people already provided media coverage for Nowruz celebration.

Our students study at the School of Interethnic Journalism. This is a joint project by the regional office of the Guild of Interethnic Journalism and ASU.

The best creative teams and folk ensembles demonstrated their scene performance skills on various sites. A large delegation from the autonomous Republic of came to support people of Astrakhan. It was a real present for anyone to visit ethnic sites of people who reside in Tatarstan: Chuvash, Mordvins, Mari, Russian, and Tatar. Each exhibit could be watched and touched; one could learn much about customs and traditions of this or that ethnic community.

Our students highly appreciated performance of folk ensembles; they tried ethnic dishes Students of ASU Provide Media Coverage for Sabantuy Holiday. News of ASU. PDF Version. and visited expositions and competitions.

The participants of the School of Interethnic Journalism and the students of ASU met managers of noncommercial organizations involved in ethnic issues; they conducted a survey related to ethnic traditions and development of ethnic brands in Astrakhan Region. The two co-organizers of the School (Ms. Dinara Mezhitova, Chief of the Astrakhan Office of the Guild of Interethnic Journalism, and Dr. Galina Belolipskaya, Head of the Chair of Theory & History of Journalism of ASU) gave consultations for our students that concerned the art of journalism and formation of a new approach to tourism. A skilled media coverage of ethnic projects depends on journalists’ professionalism directly.

In their interviews given to our students, the heads of the ethnic communities remarked that this holiday unites not just of Astrakhan, but people of any ethnic identity as well.
