Particular attention is given to organization of different events in a form of festivals and celebrations every academic year. The key aim here is not only to advance awareness about the country and its cultural distinctiveness among the University students. In addition, the society intends to facilitate inter-cultural engagement of its members with various national societies and students with different backgrounds.
SAS attempts to benefit from all the opportunities presented by the Student Union. This year members of the society participated in the Language Festival and taught Azerbaijani language to students of other nationalities. Novruz Festival, celebration of the most significant holiday for Azerbaijani people, was organized in March, attracted a very large number of students and facilitated their conversance with the Caucasian country's customs and traditions. Moreover, the society members are united in a football team and hold weekly matches among themselves or with those who dare to challenge the SAS team.
If you are interested in the activity of the society or would like to become a member, please do not hesitate to contact us on our Facebook page. We will get back to you in a very short time period.
