On 10 November, a large-scale event joined RANEPA St. Petersburg first-year students, their teachers, friends as well as the honored guests. The Festival is aimed at adapting and immersing in a new student journey, encourages to unleash creativity and becomes an excellent start into a vibrant student life.

Traditionally, each year a Festival concept is different, this time the topic was determined as “On the edge of possible” and each faculty presented the story of a legendary Russian athlete.

A short deadline, complex production, deep dives into the topic, and dozens of grueling rehearsals—all of this laid the foundation for creating a spectacular show. Our freshmen in 7 faculties have trained team work skills and hard prepared to present their unique, vivid performances to show how creative and united they are. 

We congratulate all the winners and participants of the First-Year Student Festival 2025 and wish them to continue exploring their talents, never rest on their laurels, and prove to everyone that the impossible is possible!
