Kristina Belobabova, a student at the Institute of Applied Arts of St. Petersburg State University of Industrial Technologies and Design, presented the university at the forum "Water Resources: from Shipbuilding to Aquaculture in the North" in Petrozavodsk. The forum brought together more than 100 young professionals and representatives of student patriotic clubs from more than 45 educational organizations from all over the country.

Kristina Belobabova, a student at St. Petersburg State University of Industrial Technologies and Design, was invited to the event as an active participant in the "I am a Professional" Olympiad community. And despite the fact that the profession that the student receives is related to the field of art, Kristina admits that thanks to the forum she learned that her skills are in demand in the shipbuilding industry.
"We participated in a plenary session with representatives of the government of the Republic of Karelia, in meetings with Svetlana Malevana, Deputy Head of the Project Management Department at the Severnaya Verf Shipyard, and Valeria Kasamara, director of the Association of Organizers of Student Olympiads "I am a Professional", with whom we discussed our career plans. In addition, master classes and an excursion to the Petrozavodskmash foundry were organized for us," says Kristina.

In Petrozavodsk, the student also got acquainted with the works of local craftsmen and artists, visited the Museum of Fine Arts of the Republic of Karelia.
It should be recalled that due to her work on the preservation of folklore in the art of ceramics, Kristina Belobabova represented the university at the Educational Socio-Humanitarian Forum in St. Petersburg.
Kristina has already worked in ceramic production, and now she is trying her hand at jewelry and mosaics. In her work, the girl relies on folklore, history and cultural studies.
In the summer, Kristina presented her work at the exhibition for the first time, taking part in the exhibition "Colors of Summer" in the youth space "Chamber of Crafts" in St. Petersburg. Here, the girl presented paintings made from nature in her homeland, in the city of Alupka in the Republic of Crimea.
