Cultural volunteering
Cultural volunteering is a relatively new area of the center's work, which makes students feel like they are part of cultural events.
What can you do as a volunteer in the field of culture?
- help with the organization of events;
- arrange guided tours and mediation;
- restore architectural monuments;
- organize master classes.

Our students participate in events within the university:
- they arrange excursions for international students to the main sights of the center of Moscow, helping children to get used to a new environment and learn about the historical past of the city;
- participate in the cultural and historical quest "Cult.Quest": volunteers act out historical characters who live in mansions in the vicinity of the tower building on Pokrovka.
Students also help in public and private museums, contemporary art galleries, festivals, and even participate in restoration work to restore and preserve the country's cultural heritage.
Some of our partners:
- The State Historical Museum
- Shchusev Museum of Architecture
- Museum of Moscow
- Moscow Museum of Transport
- Moscow Exhibition Halls Association
- Russian-Chinese Cultural Center Zhar-Ptitsa
- Museum of Patrons and Benefactors of Moscow
- Union of Artists of Russia
- Moscow Department of Cultural Heritage
- Youth Book Culture Festival "Word Space"
Recorded in collaboration with the State Museum of Architecture. Shchuseva cultural and historical podcast-walk is available for listening:
This is a project that will tell you about the significant buildings of the Basmanny district. The podcast is a single route that can be used while walking. For example, while walking from the Kotelnicheskaya high rise to Khitrovskaya Square, you can listen to an episode about this square, and when you reach it, you can safely turn on the next episode about the Morozov mansion.
Do you want to learn more interesting facts about the places where your student life takes place or was held, discover new historical locations and take a fresh look at familiar streets? Join the Cult.Quest community in Telegram to look at the Basmanny district from the other side, as well as not to miss registration for the next quest stream!
