31 Jan. 11:34The State Institute of World Languages named after Döwletmämmet Azady in Ashgabat invites 11th- and 12th-grade students from across Turkmenistan to participate in its annual language olympiads. From March to May, the institute will organize competitions in five subjects: Turkmen, English, French, Russian, and German.
The events will begin with the Turkmen language olympiad on March 14 and conclude with the German language competition on May 16. The contests will be held in two stages: the first consists of written exercises, and the second involves individual exams at the institute.
The jury and organizing team include leading faculty from the Institute of World Languages in Turkmenistan, along with professors from international partner universities. Winners will receive diplomas and valuable prizes, while their mentors will be honored with certificates of appreciation.
This initiative aims to increase young people’s interest in foreign languages and strengthen connections between secondary and higher education institutions in Turkmenistan. Registration details are available on the institute’s official website.

A rye-wheat loaf preserved in a freezer for 36 years has been put on public display as part of the permanent exhibition at the Deutschlandmuseum in Berlin. Dubbed "The Last Loaf of the GDR," it was originally purchased on June 26, 1990, by student Michael Hagedorn, who bought an extra loaf fearing potential food shortages amidst the economic unification of East and West Germany.
The museum's director, Robert Rückel, described the unusual artifact as a unique poignant symbol of everyday human decisions during times of monumental geopolitical change. To maintain its preserved state, the museum installed a custom refrigeration unit where the historical loaf remains permanently frozen for visitors to view.
