Our university professor, Valentina Avraamovna Maslova, was one of the plenary speakers at the III International Linguocultural Forum at Peoples' Friendship University of Russia (Moscow, October 1–3). Her paper, «Theolinguocultural Studies: Pros and Cons», explored the theoretical and methodological underpinnings of a new approach to the intersection of language, culture, and religious consciousness. The presentation generated considerable interest and a lively discussion.

Participants generally agreed that the forum was vibrant and productive. More than forty countries participated. The forum became a landmark event in the linguacultural and linguadidactic communities, bringing together like-minded individuals for whom linguacultural studies is not only a life credo but also a tool for achieving noble goals and becoming a guiding light into the stunning world of cultural heritage through language. It demonstrated that linguacultural studies is a discipline that continues to grow, debate, and discover new horizons, and that the Belarusian school of linguacultural studies makes a significant contribution to this growth.
