Since 2016 the Slavonic Studies Section at the °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±¼Ç¼ has hosted a popular, free Outreach Day for secondary school students in Years 11 and 12.

This year, on 4ÌýJuly 2020, we will be holding the event at Trinity College, °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±¼Ç¼. It will feature Russian language taster sessions and informal seminars in literature, film and culture -- all led by °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±¼Ç¼ Slavonic Studies staff.
