Young people transforming Russia: energy, purpose, moving forward
The National Centre RUSSIA extends its congratulations on Youth Day — a celebration of the generation that is already shaping the country through bold ideas, start-ups, discoveries, and cultural initiatives.
One of our core missions is to help young people feel pride in their Motherland, a sense of belonging to its great history, and inspiration from its future. Through expositions, meetings, and projects at the National Centre RUSSIA, we strive to spark a vital inner question in every young visitor: who do I want to become, and what will my contribution to Russia be in 5, 10 or 20 years?
Since its opening, the National Centre RUSSIA has featured the exposition "Library of the Future," dedicated to the great works of science fiction writers who foresaw much of what is now part of our reality. More recently, we launched the nationwide video essay contest "Dreams of the Future," a platform for heartfelt dialogue between generations about what tomorrow might hold.
Young people are at the heart of everything we do. The National Centre RUSSIA regularly hosts lectures, workshops, discussions, and flash mobs featuring leading experts in culture, science, and technology. Inspiring encounters with legends in their field are yet more proof that dreams can become reality — if you move forward with courage and belief.
The Youth Day programme promises to be a vibrant one. On June 28, the National Centre RUSSIA will host a series of cultural and educational events organised in partnership with the presidential platform "Russia – Land of Opportunity."
Happy Youth Day! A celebration of those who dare to dream, to create, and to win!
During the all-Russian survey "What does the Motherland begin with?", people across the country are answering this question in their own way, opening up the innermost corners of their souls.
Souvenir nevalyashkas (traditional Russian roly-poly dolls), are attracting particular attention, with guests choosing them for their harmonious combination of Russian colour and traditional Chinese symbols.
Under the guidance of artisans, each guest made an unusual souvenir that can become either a personal talisman or a gift with a special story.
