The Day of Unity of the Peoples of Belarus and Russia is celebrated annually on April 2. This day in 1996 the presidents of the two countries signed an agreement on the formation of the Community of Russia and Belarus, and exactly a year later an agreement on the Union of these states was concluded.

Joint research in the field of correctional pedagogy, exchange of practical experience will help us to get the results of the highest quality. The creation of joint interdisciplinary scientific works, educational and teaching aids will contribute to more effective training of personnel in the field of special and inclusive education.
Correctional pedagogy is a branch of scientific knowledge that, like no other in pedagogy, is characterized by compassion, empathy, cooperation and tolerance.
Dear colleagues! Only with joint efforts will we be able to further contribute to the development of these humanistic directions! Fruitful exchange of scientific and pedagogical knowledge will contribute to the search for effective ways of correctional and developmental assistance to a special child and his family. By combining our joint efforts, we will be able to improve professional competencies quickly and effectively, train modern personnel of young teachers who are able to work in a team of like-minded people striving to gain new knowledge!
I wish all of us peace, health, happiness, professional success, creativity and joy!»
