Apart from higher education in Russia, Bangladesh is also implementing the “New Generation” program of short-term study tours to Russia for youth representatives at various Russian events. Every year, more than 1,000 young leaders aged 25-35 visit Russia to establish professional contacts and build long-term partnerships with Russian state and non-state structures, youth, and community organizations. This year also, the Russian House in Dhaka has started activities for Bangladeshi representatives to participate in the “New Generation” program, which is on its way to implementation very soon. Russian House in Dhaka invites young Bangladeshi friends to participate in the World Youth Festival-2024, which will be held in Sochi at the beginning of March next year.
Approximately 20,000 young leaders, both Russian and foreign, aged 18 to 35 from fields including business, media, education, science, international cooperation, culture, volunteering, sports, and other sectors of social life, will gather at this festival. The Russian House in Dhaka is working hard to promote educational and Russian language courses related to Russia. Discussions are already underway with some local universities to establish a "Russian Corner" so that anyone can easily learn about Russia and the Russian language.
