Center for Open Education in the Federative Republic of Brazil
One of the priority areas of the work of SPbU to promote the Russian language is its activity in Latin America and, in particular, in Brazil. The SPbU Representative Office in Campinas has been in operation since 2025.
Huge work to teach the Russian language to Brazilians began in 2024, when the Center for Open Education in Brazil was opened. Over its two years of operation (2024–2025), 797 people completed programs under the Center’s teachers. In 2026, enrollment in the three educational programs reached a record 557 students.
