On Youth Day, the best tour guides, "guides of meaning" of the "More Than a Trip" program, volunteers and employees of the Guest Centre of the Exposition and the World Youth Festival were awarded at the International RUSSIA EXPO, which has become one of the venues for federal festivals of the Youth Capital of Russia — Moscow.

40 distinguished guides, volunteers and partner organizations of the Festival were awarded by Sergei Kiriyenko, First Deputy Chief of Staff of the Russian Presidential Executive Office. According to him, tour guides convey important values to the younger generation and help them learn about opportunities for development in modern Russia.

"A huge thanks to all the people who created the soul of the World Youth Festival held in March this year in Sochi. More than 20,000 people from 190 countries - and almost every one of them left in love with Russia. During the days of the festival we saw truly happy people, and this was possible thanks to the work of volunteers who invested not just time and effort, but also a part of their soul. More than 17 million people have already visited the RUSSIA EXPO, each of whom left with a feeling of pride for their country. And this is thanks to you!" Sergei Kiriyenko noted.

Natalia Virtuozova, Director General of the RUSSIA EXPO, noted the special contribution of tour guides and volunteers to the atmosphere of the Exposition.

"To date, the Exposition has already been visited by more than 17 million people. They come here not just for fun, but because everyone feels very good here. We award the guys thanks to whose hearts such an atmosphere has been created at our Exposition," said Natalia Virtuozova, Director General of the RUSSIA EXPO.

In addition, the results of the All-Russian contest of programs for the comprehensive development of youth policy in the regions of Russia "Region for the Young", as well as the All-Russian contest of the best regional practices to support volunteerism (volunteering) "Region of Good Deeds" 2024 were summed up.

"The 'Region for the Young' program today really combines a variety of resources, because for every federal ruble invested, that is, for every 5 billion allocated annually, 2 regional rubles are allocated. This is an example of very effective joint work of federal and regional levels, when everyone solves a single priority task," said Head of the Federal Agency for Youth Affairs (Rosmolodezh) Ksenia Razuvaeva.
