  • Drive, Joy, and New Skills: ITMO Students Volunteer at Euro 2020 in St. Petersburg

    For a whole month between June 11 and July 11, St. Petersburg had been swept off its feet with the UEFA European Football Championship 2020. The tournament was especially festive this time around, as football aficionados had been waiting for it a year longer (it was scheduled for last year and postponed due to the pandemic). However, it was not only a colorful show for everyone – some, including volunteers from ITMO University, took on themselves the responsible job of organizing the event. In this article, we reach out to our volunteers to ask them all about their impressions from the event and the reasons why they chose to spend one third of their summer holidays working.

  • This Weekend in St. Petersburg: June 12-14, 2021

    Yet another warm summer weekend is approaching and we are at your service with our usual take on the best events to be part of on these two days.
