Lobachevsky University Holds Latin American Culture Day

More than 60 students from the region took part in the festival.

National Research Lobachevsky State University international students represented Cuba, Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador, Mexico, Bolivia and Salvador at the festival of Latin American culture. They arranged a display of national symbols and costumes, presented national dishes and read thematic lectures.
