The event was initiated and led by Aygun Miriyeva, lecturer at the Department of Humanities and Regional Studies of the Faculty of Regional Studies and Economics. The excursion brought together international students majoring in International Relations and Azerbaijani students of Regional Studies.

The main goal of the visit was to help students gain a deeper understanding of Azerbaijan’s history, culture, and statehood traditions, as well as to broaden their worldview.

As part of the excursion, students first visited the National Museum of History of Azerbaijan, where they explored rich exhibits covering the country’s historical development from ancient times to the modern era. Among the exhibits — archaeological artifacts, ancient weapons, national costumes, and art pieces — drew particular interest from the students.

They also visited the Museum of Independence of Azerbaijan, where they learned about the establishment of the Azerbaijan Democratic Republic, the 1918–1920 period of independence, the Soviet occupation, and the country’s subsequent restoration of independence. The museum’s exhibits contributed to fostering a sense of patriotism and national pride among students.

Finally, the group visited the State Museum of Musical Culture of Azerbaijan, which showcases national musical instruments and materials reflecting the lives and works of prominent Azerbaijani composers. Students learned fascinating facts about mugham, folk music, and classical Azerbaijani compositions.

The students expressed great interest and satisfaction with the excursion, noting that it was both educational and inspiring.
