2nd year students of the Faculty of International Relations of the University of World Economy and Diplomacy (UWED), under the guidance of German language teacher Umeda Istatovna Sultanova, visited the Republican Children's Psychoneurological Dispensary named after Kurbanov on a charitable mission.

Within the walls of the dispensary, students plunged into a special atmosphere that required sensitivity and warmth. Young people were able to communicate directly with young patients, learn about their needs and the daily difficulties they face. As a sign of attention and support, the guests gave the children small but sincere gifts prepared in advance, trying to give them positive emotions, smiles and a sense of celebration.

For future diplomats, whose professional activities will be inextricably linked with the global agenda, this visit became a clear practical lesson in implementing the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This action is particularly relevant in the context of SDG 3 “Good health and well-being”, which is aimed at ensuring a healthy lifestyle and promoting well-being for everyone at any age, as well as SDG 10 “Reducing inequalities”, which implies empowering socially vulnerable groups of the population.

This visit contributed to the formation in students of such key competencies of a 21st century diplomat as humanism, empathy, social responsibility and inclusive thinking. The University of World Economy and Diplomacy continues to integrate the principles of sustainable development into the educational process, proving that true diplomacy begins with a kind heart and a willingness to help one’s neighbor.
