Pavel Moiseev, Derzhavin University Rector, met with young bloggers participating in the "Student Tourism" program, supervised by the Russian Ministry of Science and Higher Education.
The youth delegation included Dmitry and Diana Gubina (Moscow City Pedagogical University and RUDN University named after Patrice Lumumba), Badma Dovunov (Kalmyk State University named after B.B. Gorodovikov), Igor Gusarov (Kemerovo State University), Sofia Egorikova (RANEPA), and Darina Sinitsa.
The key topics of discussion were the promotion of youth and student tourism in Russia through the creation of engaging media content about the regions, revealing their economic and cultural potential.
Blog tours allow program participants not only to visit unique locations, take thematic excursions, expeditions, and hikes, but also to share their impressions with a multi-million audience. The tours cover various regions of Russia, from North Ossetia to the Urals and beyond.
The rector of Derzhavin University discussed infrastructure projects, the university's scientific and educational potential, and its family policy, which has become the university's fourth mission. TSU's demographic strategy is based on creating the necessary conditions for starting a family and having a first child during their studies without taking an academic leave, as well as encouraging future young professionals to pursue further career growth and development.
- We live in an era of a shift in values, and the importance of human capital is growing, - says Pavel Moiseev. - Derzhavin University is the Ministry of Education and Science's agent for implementing family policy in higher education institutions in the Russian Federation. The University creates comfortable conditions for student families, including social support measures, mother-and-child rooms, subsidized medical care, and housing. Construction of a rental building in the regional center is nearing completion. The Galdym recreation center, where family vacations are held, has significant potential.
The meeting was attended by Diana and Dmitry Gubin, winners of the "Best Student Family of Russia" title and winners of the All-Russian Student Family Competition "Travel with Those You Love." The couple met during their school years at a health camp in Tatarstan. Five years ago, they married and founded a small studio where they shoot and edit social videos and short films, and in their free time, they actively travel. For them, traveling is not just a hobby, but a special family tradition that brings people together and strengthens emotional bonds.
- The Tambov Region is a unique region. I was struck by the architecture, especially the buildings constructed in the exquisite Art Nouveau style. The tour of Derzhavin University and its museum space was fascinating. All this is inspiring and helps us better understand the history of the region, its cultural characteristics, and historical traditions," comments Dmitry Gubin. The program for the media ambassadors of the "Student Tourism" project in the Tambov region includes excursions to iconic locations in the regional center, a visit to a tumbler doll factory in Kotovsk, a hiking trip, tourism workshops, a field lunch, and other activities.
