The event began with a ceremonial opening of the French language office, marked by a symbolic red ribbon cutting.
During the meeting, prospects for strengthening cooperation between French universities and KNU were discussed, as well as ways to increase interest in learning the French language. Special attention was given to opportunities offered by the Erasmus+ programme.
The National Erasmus+ Coordinator in Kyrgyzstan,shared statistics on KNU’s collaboration with French universities and presented available opportunities within the programme. She also invited all participants to an upcoming event, details of which will be announced soon 🤫.
