During the meeting, foreign students watched films where specific illegal acts were highlighted in detail and responsibility for such offenses was explained.

The round table “Life Without Drugs and Extremism” is aimed at improving the information literacy of foreign students, preventing drug addiction and spread of narcotic drugs, forming negative attitudes among students towards extremist manifestations, developing young people’s skills to demonstrate willpower and making their own decisions, ensuring the safety of KSMU foreign students.
