The project "Museum — is a center for the revival of the Chulym culture" became one of the winners in the "Medium grant" nomination of the "Museum - a point of growth" competition organized by the Department of Culture of the Tomsk Region and the Tomsk Regional Museum of Local Lore named after M. B. Shatilov in the framework of the governor's program.

The implementation of the project was done with a help of Chulym language teacher Valeria Mikhailovna Lemskaya, Candidate of Philology, Associate Professor of the Department of Translation and Translation Studies at the Institute of Foreign Languages ​​and International Cooperation of the TSPU.

V.M. Lemskaya has been studying the Chulym language since 2005, she is one of the few specialists in the world, her Ph.D. thesis was the third (and so far the last) Russian academic work on the Chulym-Turkic language. Valeria managed to work with the speakers of all Chulym dialects at the turn of the XX-XXI centuries, including the last speaker of the Lower Chulym dialect. She recorded unique audio (about 200 hours) and video (about 70 hours) files, as well as annotated and published a large body of linguistic data on the Chulym language.

Note

Chulym (or Chulym-Turkic) language is common in the middle reaches of the Chulym River in the Teguldetsky district of the Tomsk region and the Tyukhtetsky district of the Krasnoyarsk Territory. From the research of the Chulym language in the 1940s. the systematic study of the small languages ​​of the peoples of Siberia and the North began at the Department of Indigenous Languages of Siberia, TSPU. Currently, there are very few speakers of the Chulym language, according to scientists — no more than 50 people. Many ethnic Chulyms now speak Russian, but want to regain command of their native language and expand knowledge about their native culture.

The brand new  project, developed by the teacher of the Department of Informatics of the TSPU, software engineer Vyacheslav Yuryevich Likhachev, was supported by the Innovation Promotion Foundation under the "UMNIK" program after the TSPU participated in the Digital Breakthrough competition, where the Guinness record was set for the largest hackathon. Today, the platform created by our teacher will become the first and only full-fledged platform in Russia for hosting robot applications.

The solution will bring together robot application developers and robot users. The site is going to offer opportuniteis for ordering applications, for saleing the components for robots as well as placing offers of services for business integration of robots.

“In order to find the necessary information, a knowledge base will be collected and a filtration system will be developed, — says Vyacheslav. — A personal account has been created for robot software developers, by which it will be possible to add new applications and conduct analytics”.

In addition, the product will include instructions for working with robots, a database of developers and users, as well as a knowledge base on the usage and integration of robots. The project will develop and unite people who are associated with robotics around the world: as the developer assures, scaling will be carried out easily for different regions and countries.

A new stage of acquaintance of the interested audience with the project will be the presentation of the development within the framework of the All-Russian competition "Young Entrepreneur" The TSPU team that present will present the program will include students of the Faculty of Physics and Mathematics and the Faculty of Economics and Management of the university.

“The signing of a cooperation agreement with the EFKO group of companies will allow Tomsk State Pedagogical University, on the one hand, to expand the horizons of cooperation, discover the mew fields for scientific and research internships. On the other hand, the fact that one of the largest commercial holdings in the Russian and European markets considers our translators to be great professionals who can work in the real sector of the economy, testifies to the high level of training of our students”, — said the rector of the TSPU A.N. Makarenko.

"The EFKO Group of Companies is actively developing educational areas within the company. And in this sense, young specialists with pedagogical education are very important for us to build a solid scientific base. In addition, EFKO Group, as one of the largest oil and fat holdings in the European market, works in many areas with international partners and we always need highly qualified translators. Tomsk State Pedagogical University is one of the leading universities in Siberia and trains specialists with fluency in foreign languages. Therefore, today we are holding a meeting with students and we want to form a base of young translators, whom we will be able to involve in our projects in the future” — said Anna Nenakhova.

The first joint event was the meeting "Career in Innovation: Where should Translator start?" held by the specialists of the EFKO Innovations LLC Pavel Pestov and Natalia Pereverzerova with students of the Institute of Foreign Languages and International Cooperation of the TSPU. Future linguists and translators learned about the activities of the company, vacancies and passed tests, based on the results of which the TSPU students will be able to receive an invitation to work at the EFKO Group.

Students of the Governor's Svetlensky Lyceum met with the rector of the TSPU Andrey Nikolaevich Makarenko within the framework of the project "School of Successful Life". The goal of the project is to tell young adults about personal way to the heights of public, social and career success by the example of the life stories of famous people in Tomsk and the Tomsk region.

The “School of Successful Life” was first held in 2008, since then journalists, politicians, scientists, businessmen, representatives of the education sector have become guests of this project. As organizers of the project note, these people “were not brought up in a teacher's room, they were brought up by life”.

“The main benefit of the meetings is the upbringing of schoolchildren like me, who are difficult to motivate with something ordinary, — says the lyceum student Ilya Konygin. — You get the opportunity to communicate with people who have already achieved success, people who are difficult to meet on the street like this. Of course, they inspire you".

The moderator of the meeting of the TSPU rector with the schoolchildren was the director of the Governor's Svetlensky Lyceum Alexander Gennadievich Saybedinov. During the conversation, Andrei Nikolayevich shared his story, outlining the stages of his personal trajectory of professional development, gave recommendations on choosing a further path, how to pick a university and future profession, and answered questions from listeners.

"I was worried about the differences in the quality of education in Russia and abroad, because I want to try to enter a foreign university, — says Elvira Ivanova. — After talking with the rector of the TSPU, I realized that the level of acquired knowledge and skills will depend not only on the teachers or the school and the chosen university. But to a greater extent from myself and the desire to become better in my chosen profession. I share Makarenko's idea that throughout life you need to constantly replenish your knowledge."

The children were interested in philosophical and even everyday questions. Participation in the School became useful for both parties: for the rector of TSPU to participate in a sincere and lively dialogue with teenagers, and for lyceum students to get an unprecedented experience to hear the story of one more success.

The Russian Karate Championship, the main tournament of 2020 in adult category has ended in Yekaterinburg. A bronze medal in the 50 kg category was won by Anna Skvortsova, a student of the Institute of Childhood of the TSPU.

For four days, Russian athletes competeded with each other. The TSPU student competed in the kumite discipline and went through three fights, losing only to the current champion from Bashkortostan:

“I fought with really strong opponents, the fights were very tense. In the first fight I lost with a score of 6: 3, then in the fight for the bronze I won 6: 0 against rival from Tyumen, and then won against rival from Moscow with a score of 7: 2".

Anna admits that she treated each fight as she fougt for the last time in her life, tying to work at full strength. Regular independent training, which had to be carried out at home during the pandemic wave, helped her stay in shape:

“During self-isolation, I trained on my own twice a day. As soon as the restrictions were lifted, we continued to work with the team and coach Ruslan Muradalievich Apaev, whom I thank for the training".

According to the results of the competition, Anna became a member of the Russian national karate team. Now the athlete has to prepare for the European Championship, which will be held in May in Sweden.
