On May 18, 2026, within the framework of the International Scientific Conference titled “Contemporary Issues in Language, Education, Research and Sustainability” organized by Mingachevir State University, a theatrical performance titled “Classic on Stage” was presented by the university’s students at the Mingachevir State Drama Theatre. The event went beyond academic discussions, bringing the synergy of knowledge and creativity to the stage.

In addition to conference participants, university staff and students also attended the performance. This gathering of diverse audiences created a dynamic environment for the exchange of ideas and experiences.

The performance was organized jointly by the International Language Center of the Lifelong Learning School and the Department of Foreign Languages of Mingachevir State University. Based on classical literary works, the staged compositions were performed in English by students. These performances not only contributed to the development of students’ language skills but also broadened their worldview and fostered an open and responsible attitude toward different cultures.

The performance was met with great interest by the audience, and the stage acts were accompanied by enthusiastic applause. The event proved significant in terms of revealing students’ creative potential, expanding their opportunities for self-expression, and promoting an inclusive and participatory educational environment. At the same time, it stood out as a practical example of developing stage culture and applying interactive teaching methods.

In line with the overall concept of the conference, the “Classic on Stage” presentation contributed to enriching language teaching through innovative and practice-oriented approaches, once again highlighting the importance of fostering both knowledge-based and value-oriented development among young people.
