Derzhavin University students Ksenia Alpashkina, Nikita Ilyin, Valentina Motok, and Elena Levashova participated in the "Unity" session at the All-Russian Youth Educational Forum "Territory of Meanings." At the Senezh Management Workshop, the students discussed the implementation of unified standards for working with youth and ways to strengthen national identity.
A highlight of the forum was the creathon, where participants, under the supervision of experienced producers, created pilot media products on the theme of the unity of the peoples of Russia.
On the day of their presentations, the teams presented content capable of conveying important messages of unity to young viewers. Participants presented mini-series, recurring videos, and film trailers recognized for conveying important values to young audiences.
"I recently returned from the 'Territory of Meanings,' and I still have this special feeling inside—when I don't want to sleep, but create," says Nikita Ilyin, a second-year student majoring in Political Science at Derzhavin University. "These weren't just lectures, but a true exchange of energy. Together with other participants, we sought answers to current challenges. We developed ideas and thought about how to apply them in practice in our regions. Over these days, we thoroughly honed our skills in working with young people, collaborated with top experts, and created projects about unity that I'm sure will make a name for themselves."
This year, the 'Territory of Meanings' platform will bring together over three thousand young people aged 16 to 35 from across Russia in three thematic sessions. The program includes an educational intensive and practical sections, as well as a grant competition from the Federal Agency for Youth Affairs.
