On October 30 the final online conference of the "Dialogues of Cultures — Bridges of Friendship" project took place. Nearly a year and a half of joint work is now behind us. The project included many online meetings and discussions. Of course, the most vivid impressions were left by the International School of Music in Karelia in November 2025, and students gained new positive experience through collaborative research work studying each other's musical traditions.

Topics and ideas for continuing cooperation emerged during the project implementation. Today, we discussed what the collective effort has given to all its participants — in Petrozavodsk, Minsk, and Almaty. The experience gained still needs to be comprehended, but it is already clear that everyone who took part in the project is already making joint plans for the future.

Our sincere thanks to colleagues and partners for their interest, active engagement, support and truly fascinating teamwork!
