During their 12 days visit Tatar youths both from Tatarstan and Adelaide got to gather every day and undertake joint programs including organising welcoming and farewell concerts with traditional Tatar singing, dancing performances; Tatar girls Gobadiya cooking classes, Tatar traditional games like "Aulak Oi", singing and other activities. Joint excursion to Gorge Wildlife Park with native Australian animals like kangaroos and koalas, trip to Victor Harbor and Granite Island and the Dolphin cruise at Glenelg were especially successful events.
