These educational meetings became an important part of the program aimed at broadening the academic horizons of participants from different countries.

Eduard Krasnov, a senior lecturer in the Department of Theory and History of State and Law at the KFU Law Faculty, delivered a lecture titled "Love and Law: The Rules of the Game in Relationships." During the lecture, legal issues related to marriage and family in Russia and China were discussed, including the conditions for marriage, property relations between spouses, and the rights of parents and children. Project participants were able to familiarize themselves with the legal aspects and discuss the differences in the legal approaches of the two countries.

Mikhail Abramsky, the director of the Institute of Information Technologies and Intelligent Systems, gave a lecture on interdisciplinary interaction. In his presentation, he demonstrated how information technology evolves thanks to achievements in other sciences—from linguistics and philosophy to mathematics and biology. The lecture served as a vivid example of how the IT industry absorbs the best practices from a wide range of scientific fields.

In the Institute of Philology and Intercultural Communication, Igor Guryanov, an associate professor in the Department of Romance and Germanic Philology, spoke about creolized texts in the media space—a phenomenon that combines verbal and visual elements into a unified communication system. The lecturer explained how these texts shape the perception of information and why they can be used to study culture.

As part of the educational program, participants were also shown documentary films produced by the Russian Society "Knowledge"—"DNA of Russia: Inventors" and "DNA of Russia: The Russian Language. More Than Words."
