The seventh season of "Bolshaya Peremena" to launch at the National Centre RUSSIA
The seventh season of "Bolshaya Peremena" ("Big Change"), the largest contest for children and teenagers in the country, will be launched at the National Centre RUSSIA on 28 March. The ceremony will bring together winners and finalists of previous seasons, their parents and mentor teachers, heads of ministries and government agencies, as well as representatives of major Russian partner companies.
For the first time, the opening of the new season will take place in the format of a tea gathering, uniting the entire country. Children, parents, mentors, and project partners will come together at one table. Regions across Russia will join the live broadcast, and each conversation will conclude with a good deed. In the studio of "Classnoye Radio" ("Cool Radio",), past winners, regional teams, and partners will discuss responsibility, hard work, and bold dreams.
"The seventh season of 'Bolshaya Peremena' begins on the Day of Big Changes. This is highly symbolic, as participants and alumni share a common desire to make the world around them better. Every year, thousands of children unlock their potential across the contest’s 12 challenges, create their own projects, find friends, mentors, and like-minded people, and then carry out good deeds together in their cities and towns. In the seventh season, we will continue this tradition, and new active and motivated participants will join the ranks," said Hero of Russia, participant in the presidential programme "Time of Heroes", and Chairman of the Board of the Movement of the First, Artur Orlov.
The All-Russian contest "Bolshaya Peremena" is the flagship project of the Movement of the First. The contest is held with the support of the Federal Agency for Youth Affairs (Rosmolodezh), the Ministry of Education of Russia, and the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of Russia. Since 2025, "Bolshaya Peremena" has been part of the national project "Youth and Children".
This year, school students in Years 1–10, students of technical schools and colleges, senior school students from other countries, as well as teams of educational institutions will also be able to take part in "Bolshaya Peremena".
The seventh season will also introduce new features, which will be announced during the launch ceremony. "Bolshaya Peremena" is the largest contest for children and teenagers in Russia, with more than 7 million participants over six seasons.
The project’s general partners include Russian Railways, Rosatom State Corporation, Sberbank, VK, and Roscosmos State Corporation.
