The International Institute of Russian Language and Culture and Tver
State University, with support from the Tver InterContact Group, an
independent educational and consulting organization, announce the
opening of enrollment for the seventh annual Summer School of Russian
Language and Area Studies in Tver. The program features intensive
training in Russian language and area studies complemented by an
extensive excursion program, the opportunity to intern at a local
company or do research, a unique opportunity to live with a hospitable
Russian family, and the chance to meet Russian peers. Program
participants are sure to fondly remember their visit to the heart of
Russia.

In addition to the core classroom program, participants will have the
opportunity to visit workshops and studios where they will study Russian
folk art, songs, and traditional dances. Weekends feature excursions to
area museums and sightseeing trips to Moscow, St. Petersburg, and the
ancient cities of Sergiev Posad, Torzhok, Ostashkov, and others.

The Summer School is held in Tver, an ancient city on the Volga River.
The city is located directly between Moscow (170 km) and St. Petersburg
(600 km). The numerous and convenient transportation routes to Russia's
southern and northern capitals make Tver an ideal place to learn about
Russian culture, both that of the capitals and that of the provinces.
Tver itself, with nearly 500,000 residents, has everything necessary for
an interesting and active sojourn: museums, galleries, theaters, concert
halls, sports facilities, and night clubs.

The Summer School is open to everyone: students and teachers,
professionals and amateurs, and tourists and experts of all ages and
interests from around the world. Do not make the mistake of seeing
Russia through a tour bus window. Russia can only be understood by
living it!  The Summer School offers education, entertainment, and
memories that will last a lifetime.
