Russian Language and Culture Festival

[Camelot Marshall]

Dear Colleagues:

We would like to share with you most the recent events held in celebration
of Russian language and culture. American Councils for International
Education: ACTR/ACCELS partnered with the International Association of
Teachers of Russian Language and Literature (MAPRIAL), the Russkiy Mir
Foundation and the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian
Federation to convene the “2010 - 2011 World Festival of Russian Language”
in Washington, DC on April 1st to April 2nd, 2011.  The festival integrated
the world-renown Olympiada competition into its agenda.

The two-day event attracted high school Russian language teachers and
students from the U.S., as well as University Russian language teachers from
Russia, to Washington, DC for a student festival, held at George Mason
University and a teacher-training workshop on the modern Russian language,
held at American Councils.  A more detailed write-up can be found here:
