A "Cross-cultural interaction School" with participation of delegations of Ingushetia and North Ossetia is under way in Moscow

Students and young specialists from Ingushetia and North Ossetia are participating in a seminar "Cross-cultural interaction School" which is under way in Moscow from October, 10, to October, 16.

The seminar was organized by "Civil Assistance" Committee. Tatewik Gukosyan, activist of "Civil Assistance", said that in spite of the fact that the seminar was aimed at peace-building the topic of Ossetian and Ingush interrelations was out of discussion.

"We realize that one should be very careful about such a critical problem. It has not been the first action we carry out for representatives of both republics. We have formerly organized meetings for schoolchildren and then for teachers from Ossetia and Ingushetia. During our classes within the framework of the project we have talked to them about interpersonal conflicts from psychological and humane point of view and we hope with the help of this kind of friendly contacts people of these two nations will get more close to one another", Gukosyan says.

Eight representatives of Ossetia, eight from Ingushetia, a postgraduate girl from Croatia and a student from Tajikistan are taking part in the seminar.

Immediately after the beginning of the seminar the participants said they liked very much the program of the meetings and the schedule of actions. One of the sessions is devoted to a meeting with volunteers of "Civil Assistance" and another one with Svetlana Gannushkina, leader of the organization.
