British Culture in St. Petersburg Conference at the Hermitage School Center

On 19 April, 2003, the School Center housed the Children’s Embassy Project conference on British culture in St. Petersburg for 9th-11th form schoolchildren from the Hermitage groups.

The schoolchildren have been preparing their presentation during a year, visiting London in October 2002 and living in British families.

The Project also brought British children to St. Petersburg in March 2002, where they visited monuments of architecture and museum collections of the city and its suburbs and saw theatrical performances.
