Until January 14, you can send a New Year’s letter to your loved ones at the National Centre RUSSIA
Exchanging
holiday postcards is a long-standing tradition that brings people together
across the country. The National Centre RUSSIA, in collaboration with Russian
Post, has launched the "New Year Russia: Dreaming Together" project,
allowing everyone to send a letter with warm wishes to loved ones — or even to
themselves for the future.
A special
mailbox for sending letters is located on the second floor of the National
Centre. New Year postcards are also available there. Wishes can be written and
sent to any part of the world until January 14, inclusive. The project has
already attracted visitors, who are enthusiastically sending messages to
different corners of our vast country.
"Several
of our postcards have been sent abroad — to India and Germany. I think the
geography will expand. People really love this project, and everyone is excited
to participate. Even children! Just now, kids from Chuvashia came by. Many were
shy, but in the end, they wrote their wishes because they wanted to bring joy
to their moms, dads, grandmothers, and grandfathers. Most children were signing
postcards for the first time, and they felt a little unsure, but we managed it together.
The wishes turned out very touching and kind," said Alexandra Iskhakova,
an employee of the National Centre RUSSIA.
The
National Centre RUSSIA was established by order of the President of the Russian
Federation, Vladimir Putin, to preserve the legacy of the International RUSSIA
EXPO and to showcase the achievements of the country and its citizens on a
permanent basis. Federal government agencies, state companies, corporations,
and regions take part in the Centre’s work.
Professor, Honorary Research Fellow at the Centre for Policy Dialogue (CPD) in Bangladesh Mustafizur Rahman will be another international participant of the Open Dialogue.
On 28 August, the National Centre RUSSIA launched enrolment in the "Young Tour Guides School of Russia".
On 27 August, the National Centre RUSSIA hosted a panel discussion organised by the EISR titled "Knowledge about the Country’s Achievements: To Whom and How Should It Be Properly Communicated?".
