Five Swedish ex-PYs from four different batches (SWY4, SWY10, SWY23 and GLDP1 SWY26) participated in the GA in Russia in September 2019. Around 120 participants from 20 countries gathered in Moscow for a few days to learn more about Russia. Among other things, the participants had a guided tour in Kremlin, an unique walking tour in Moscow (the remote Moscow tour), went on institutional visits and experienced an amazing dance show performed by the Russian national ballet ”Kostroma”. After the official GA, the Swedish participants deepened their experience of Russia by going to optional tours in St Petersburg and Kazan. The optional tours where filled with sightseeing, culinary experiences, classical concerts and Russian banya culture.
