On November 7, 2024, the Russian House in New Delhi hosted an event on the Russia-India pedagogical exchange, organized by the Russian Committee of the World Organization for Preschool Education (OMEP). Larisa Shevchenko, President of the Russian OMEP Committee, held a workshop for colleagues from Indian schools, in which she spoke about the committee's experience in the field of sustainable development and preservation of cultural heritage. She invited colleagues to join the OMEP Committee's international project "Studying the Culture of Different Countries through Pedagogical Exchange". The event was an important step in strengthening pedagogical ties between Russia and India, creating a platform for exchanging experiences and introducing new educational practices. Larisa Shevchenko noted that joint efforts can lead to significant changes in education and cultural exchange. In the process of working on the project "Studying the Culture of Different Countries through Pedagogical Exchange", special attention is paid to involving children in the study of traditional values ​​​​through games and creativity. Ekaterina Nasonova (Project Manager of the OMEP Committee) shared successful examples of the implementation of this project in different countries, which inspired Indian teachers to actively participate.
The master class conducted by Marina Yanvareva (Director of the Ladushki kindergarten, Russia, Moscow) aroused great interest among Indian colleagues, who were able not only to learn new painting techniques, but also to get acquainted with Russian culture through the prism of creativity. Unique examples of matryoshka dolls created in the Indian style will display the synergy of two cultures and symbolize the beginning of fruitful cooperation.
The Russian Committee thanks the Russian House for its support and cooperation and expresses hope that the experience gained at this event will become the basis for long-term joint initiatives that will contribute to the development of educational programs and cultural exchange in the future.
