«I admire the teaching staff, who not only gave knowledge, but also supported us. For me, these courses are important primarily because any scientific research should be carried out in collaboration with different scientific schools. For several years we have been cooperating very well, and your university is the flagship of the implementation of inclusive education. We saw this not only by the presence of excellent devices, technical means that are available, but also by teachers who really master these techniques, they can talk about them, show them. And it turned out that we have many common approaches. But at the same time, for myself, I noted those facets that we did not pay attention to in our work. This, for example, is a support system that you have well developed. Of course, I will use the materials that I received here today not only in my scientific research, but also introduce them into the work of our institution. Now in our department every 7th student with disabilities or disabilities, so it is very important for us to master as many methods of working with them as possible. I will especially note that the teachers with whom we worked and your entire team are unique people, professionals with high professional mobility. We have outlined ways of cooperation, primarily scientific, research, and I think that the prospect that is now opening up will have a beneficial effect, among other things, on the development of science, which should develop in a large scientific community», — Irina Klimenko shared her impressions.

«Thank you for your hospitality. Thanks to everyone we worked with: colleagues who lectured us; to everyone who took care of us, accompanied us. We are very happy to be here. In the field of organizing inclusive education, we have a lot to teach from you. It was very interesting to look at all the innovative innovations. We’ve learned a lot this week. We will use your advanced experience with us and share it with our colleagues. It would also be interesting to discuss another important issue — participation in Abilympics,» — said Elena Bogdanova.

«I express my gratitude for the warm welcome, for the interesting and rich program of our stay and, of course, for the new knowledge gained by our employees and myself. It is interesting to note that in the course of mastering the additional educational program, we not only learned new knowledge, got acquainted with the achievements of our dear partner university, but also presented some of our best practices on the issue of inclusive education. I consider this the best confirmation that cooperation between our universities is developing and I dare to express hope that it will intensify and develop in the future», — Valery Savenkov thanked.
