The winner of the all-Russian competition of youth projects among individuals was Ilya Smirnov, master's student of the Volga region Academy of sports and tourism, Deputy Chairman of the Tatarstan branch of the Russian youth Union. He won a grant of 1.7 million rubles for the implementation of the project " Space of opportunities "in the category"Development of social elevators".
- With the help of this project, young people of small towns and districts of the Republic will be able to implement their non-profit projects. The authors of talented ideas will receive the necessary knowledge and assistance within the project school, which provides online and offline formats in the form of 2-3-day sessions. The "space of opportunities" provides for the participation of about 200 people in the project school. To show up, you need to gather a project team and convince the jury of the prospects of your social project. The team of experts includes trainers in project management and social design of the Russian youth Union. Each project group has its own curator, who will help to "package" the project to make it attractive to investors. After the project is implemented, new youth interest teams should appear in cities and districts of Tatarstan. The best projects will be presented to municipalities and potential investors for implementation.
I came to study in Kazan from Yoshkar-Ola. This is a small city on the scale of Russia. As a social worker-first as the Chairman of the Academy's student Council, then in cooperation with the League of students of Tatarstan and the RSM - I managed to gain a serious and interesting experience during my studies. This is like a second education received in parallel. Tatarstan is constantly engaged in its youth leaders, prepares them thoroughly, constantly trains them. It is no accident that the idea of a project school was supported by the Ministry of youth Affairs of the Republic of Tatarstan. I think this has become an important argument in the fight for the votes of the jury.
