28 June is Youth Day

---

On Youth Day, the National Centre RUSSIA congratulates everyone who strives for knowledge, is not afraid to dream, creates new projects and is already shaping what tomorrow will look like for our country. Supporting young people, helping them unlock their talents and creating opportunities for professional and creative development are among the key areas of the National Centre RUSSIA’s work.

Youth is a time of opportunities, bold ideas and first major achievements. The National Centre RUSSIA creates a space where children and young people can develop their talents, gain new knowledge, meet recognised professionals and take their first steps in their chosen careers.

One such project is the Young Journalists School, an educational programme for teenagers aged 12 to 17, where participants learn the basics of modern journalism, blogging and media content creation, work with experienced mentors and build their own professional portfolios. The project helps nurture a new generation of media professionals who will be able to tell engaging and honest stories about the people, events and achievements of Russia.

Another important initiative is the Young Tour Guides School, which helps schoolchildren learn about the country’s history and culture, develop audience engagement skills, create fascinating tour routes and become true guides to the world of Russia’s achievements.

The Movement of the First Media House has also become an important platform for developing young talent. It is a modern space that hosts educational programmes, workshops and practical sessions and where media content is created. It is here that project participants and guests of the National Centre can apply their knowledge in practice by working with professional equipment and industry experts.

Today, Youth Day brings together millions of schoolchildren, students, young professionals, scientists, entrepreneurs, volunteers and creative people across the country. The National Centre RUSSIA creates educational, awareness-raising and creative projects so that as many children and young people as possible can find their vocation, bring their ideas to life and contribute to the country’s development.

Happy Youth Day! May the road ahead bring as many inspiring discoveries, new opportunities and major victories as possible!
