The fair, aimed at developing partnerships between universities and NGOs in the Republic of Tatarstan, was held at the Public Chamber of the Republic of Tatarstan. The purpose of the Fair is to initiate student projects to solve practical problems posed by social clients.
During the event, the “School of Patriots” project, presented by students of the Volga Region University, was highly appreciated.
Letters of gratitude from the Agency for Social Investment and Innovation with the support of the Presidential Grants Fund were awarded to the authors of the project - first-year students of the International Institute of Hotel Management and Tourism Anastasia Smirnova, Aigul Shaidullina, Ruzana Khramova, Elina Platonova, Demid Matasov, Kamil Shamilov, Iskandar Galeev, Georgy Akulov.
The project is led by the curator of the Service-Learning program, Sergei Druzhkov.
‘As part of the project, we come to schools and organise stations where schoolchildren can learn about military professions - field medic, UAV operator, gunner, infantryman,’ shared Georgiy Akulov, a student of Volga Region University. - We are doing this, among other things, so that schoolchildren have a good idea of Russia, because there is a lot of information online that can undermine patriotic sentiments in young people. The audience of the project is eighth and ninth grades. Initially, we plan to implement the project in three schools and a lyceum, and then we want to go nationwide.
