Inna Plotnikova, from the International and regional relations directorate of Volgograd Mayor's Office, noted that the project had successfully achieved all of its stated objectives. The students did more than just film videos about local landmarks; they gained a deeper understanding of their city's history, acquired new skills, and shared stories about Volgograd with their peers abroad.

The following schools presented their work:

1) Gymnasium No. 3 in the Central District (partnered with a school in Chengdu) — a video about landmarks in the heart of Volgograd;

2) School No. 54 in the Sovetsky District (partnered with a school in Jilin) — a piece about Lysaya Gora ("Bald Mountain"), the site of fierce, 147-day-long battles during the Battle of Stalingrad;

3) Gymnasium No. 5 in the Voroshilovsky District — a video about the Square of the Chekists (Ploshchad Chekistov), a location of profound historical and memorial significance.

Before the project began, the participants expressed their hopes: to deepen their historical knowledge, gain new skills and experiences, introduce their city's landmarks to people from other countries, learn more about Chinese culture, and strengthen ties between their nations.

"I hope that some of your expectations were met during the very process of creating these videos—specifically, that you discovered new facts about your city and the heroism of its defenders, and that you learned something new along the way. Your videos have been viewed in all three of Volgograd's sister cities. This will undoubtedly help strengthen the bonds between our cities and our peoples," emphasized Inna Plotnikova.

A highlight of the meeting was a presentation by the project's youngest participant, eight-year-old Wang Yuze from Chengdu. He spoke about a monument in Chengdu's People's Park dedicated to soldiers from the Sichuan province who fought against Japanese invaders, noting: "China and Russia are good friends. Volgograd and Sichuan are friendly regions. We both have million heroes and moving stories. Welcome to Chengdu to visit this monument."
