About Limanchik, we can confidently say that this is a place of opportunity — to meet new people, relax, creatively realize yourself and, of course, gain useful knowledge and experience that you can put into your piggy bank of professional competencies and skills.

The educational part of the shift was presented by the Institute of History and International Relations with the program "Creating event content for the anniversary of the SFedU" (head of the Higher School of Economics — Victoria Kravets, Associate Professor of the Department of Russian History) and the Institute of Philology, Journalism and Cross-cultural Communication with the program "Testing Technologies and Artificial Intelligence in Higher Education: from theory to practice" (head of the Higher School of Economics — Anna Poloyan, Senior Lecturer at the Department of Translation and Information Technology technologies in linguistics). Teachers gave lectures, conducted master classes, and organized educational games. This was how students were prepared for final projects: at the end of the course, the Institute of History and International Relations had to plan an excursion, and the Institute of Philology, Journalism and Cross-cultural Communication program ended with the completion of three tasks using artificial intelligence.

The Institute of History and International Relations course was opened by Polina Dmitrieva, Senior lecturer at the Department of Special Historical Disciplines and Methods of Teaching History and Social Studies. In her classes, she conducted master classes on team building to rally the shift participants, and also gave a lecture on creating an image that attracts the attention and interests of a tour guide who you want to listen to. To do this, you need to pay attention to the position of your body, take up enough space and not create the impression of an insecure person. To consolidate the material, the teacher suggested that the participants choose confident and clamped people based on the poses of the people in the pictures, as well as discuss how to fix problematic situations.

Maria Bratolyubova, Associate Professor of the Department of National History of the XX-XXI centuries, continued her PhD. In addition to teaching, Maria Viktorovna conducts guided tours herself, so in class she shared what she had tested on her own experience. The teacher talked about how to plan the tour route correctly, look for your target audience and attract it, how to capture and hold the attention of listeners so that the tour was interesting all the time, and also conducted several master classes on this topic.

In the second week of the Institute of History and International Relations educational shift, senior lecturer of the Department of Russian History Yulia Lazurevskaya puzzled students by developing projects for an excursion program, and Associate professor of the Department of Russian History of the Middle Ages and Modern Times Evgeny Shandulin gave a lecture on the history of the university.

The end of the Institute of History and International Relations program was the protection of excursion projects. The jury consisted of Yulia Lazurevskaya, Evgeny Shandulin and Ekaterina Krupina, a specialist in UMR and management. There were four papers in total, one from each team: "The life of a student in different years 1915-2025", "Female students. The female face of the University", "University and the City" and "The life of a RSU teacher". Thanks to the teachers' advice, the participants were able to attract the attention of the audience and received positive feedback about their projects. Some students were even offered to conduct their excursions in the fall as part of the lecture hall.

The the Institute of Philology, Journalism and Cross-cultural Communication program was opened by Victoria Nikitchenko, Senior lecturer at the Journalism Department. During the lesson, she talked about the rapid development of artificial intelligence and the importance of its proper use in studies, about existing resources using generative neural networks, about the specifics of industrial engineering, about verifying the results of content generation, as well as about testing technologies and ways to create high-quality tests to test knowledge. The teacher shared how she experimented with neural networks herself, and also explained the requirements for the final project. The lecturer also suggested the services that are most convenient to work with.

Olga Miroshnikova, Senior lecturer at the Department of Advertising and Public Relations, conducted a master class on artificial intelligence. During the lesson, participants used artificial intelligence to write industrial variants and, using neural networks, generated a picture and text of a note or report based on the plot of Chekhov's works. At the end of the lesson, the students read the resulting materials aloud, sorted out the mistakes together and discussed what could be improved in the work of artificial intelligence.

At the last lesson from the Institute of Philology, Journalism and Cross-cultural Communication, the participants were engaged in their final projects. They used the capabilities of neural networks to the fullest: the team independently chose only the topic, everything else was adjusted after the work of artificial intelligence. So, Chat GPT wrote a text on a selected topic, after which other services compiled presentations and a test based on the same text.

In addition to the educational part of the summer holidays, the students also had a creative component — the Louder | Beat of Your Youth program. Pavel Pogrebnyak (the Institute of Philology, Journalism and Cross-cultural Communication) and Alexandra Bulatova (the Institute of History and International Relations) and their teams were responsible for its preparation and implementation. Initially, the students were divided into three areas: directing, theater and dancing. The participants demonstrated all the acquired skills at the main event of the shift, the student spring. There were two of them: "The Lady and the Tramp" and "Crime and Punishment." Both concerts included vocal, dance, and theatrical performances, so everyone could showcase their talents and prove themselves on stage.

There were also events waiting for the participants, where they could spend time with their team and just relax. All the events were themed — for this, students were asked to bring certain costumes with them. The most vivid and memorable: a Russian-style rope, where stations had to be passed for team building, Neptune Day as a mandatory summer event where no one stays dry, the Olympics 80 with competitions between teams, relay races and bouncers at the end, a detective evening in the style of the Great Gatsby, where participants were asked to reveal the mystery of Count Beaumont's murder based on the evidence left behind.

At the closing ceremony, the students were given diplomas from the participants from the heads of the DPO and a kind of "Oscars" to the "stars" of the shift, who were chosen by each of the organizers of the creative program. This finale was a vivid proof that the guys made the most of all the opportunities to learn, express themselves creatively, and even put their new skills into practice.
