On December 19, the National Centre RUSSIA in Moscow hosted the Closing Ceremony of the All-Russian Student Forum "Your Move — 2024." Well-deserved awards were presented to the winners of the fourth season of the "Your Move" project and the Russian National Award "Student of the Year." Following the results of the forum, 200 winners of the "Your Move" project received 1,000,000 rubles each, while the Grand Prix winner of the Russian National Award "Student of the Year" received 200,000 rubles. The forum brought together 2,500 participants from 89 regions of the country and over 400 universities. The forum was organized by Rosmolodezh, the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of Russia, the Russian Youth Union, the Presidential Platform "Russia — Land of Opportunity," and the Rosmolodezh program "More Than a Trip."

The ceremony was attended by Sergei Kiriyenko, First Deputy Chief of Staff of the Presidential Executive Office of the Russian Federation; Dmitry Chernyshenko, Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation; Valery Falkov, Minister of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation; Grigory Gurov, Head of the Federal Agency for Youth Affairs; Andrei Betin, Director General of the Presidential Platform "Russia — Land of Opportunity"; and Dmitry Pokrovsky, Chairman of the All-Russian Public Organization "Russian Youth Union."

Sergei Kiriyenko, First Deputy Chief of Staff of the Presidential Executive Office of the Russian Federation, awarded 50 winners of the "I Do" track of the "Your Move" project during the ceremony and emphasized the students' desire to live and create in Russia.

"Today, we are honoring the winners of the 'Your Move' project. However, diplomas and awards are far from the only measure of success. You are all already winners. For some, this forum will mark the beginning of a great journey, while for others, it will be another step toward a significant goal. Each of you is talented and capable of great things, but truly substantial challenges can only be overcome together with a team that shares a common value — serving the country and other people."

The ceremony announced the name of the Grand Prix winner of the Russian National Award "Student of the Year." The title was awarded to Vladislav Bykov from the Saratov region, a participant in the nomination "Student Council Chairperson of the Year." He received the well-deserved award from Dmitry Chernyshenko, Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation.

"The Government of Russia is creating all the conditions for the realization of your potential and talents so that you can grow into well-rounded individuals, as instructed by President Vladimir Putin. The national project 'Youth and Children' is precisely aimed at this — the future of our country. And who, if not you, represents that future? We have prepared numerous exciting initiatives, such as the program 'More Than a Trip,' which will send 400,000 participants traveling across our country. Today's competition winner will serve as a shining example to emulate, a role model you will aspire to surpass," said Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Chernyshenko.

The Minister of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation awarded the winners of the fourth season of the competitive track "I Do" as part of the All-Russian student project "Your Move." The winners received funding to implement their projects. A total of 16,848 applications were submitted for participation in this competitive track in 2024.

"Four years ago, the 'Your Move' competition was launched. Back then, our primary goal was to support proactive students who know how to improve the world around them, possess brilliant ideas, and need opportunities to bring them to life. This year, the Forum brought together 2,500 participants, forming a vast community of young people who care—those who love their country, their region, and their university," said Valery Falkov, Minister of Science and Higher Education of Russia.

The head of Rosmolodezh, Grigory Gurov, and the Chair of the Board of the Movement of the First emphasized the importance of unity and cohesive teamwork among the project participants.

"Today, gathered here are those who are already ready for change, ready to transform the world around them, starting with themselves. You are the true leaders of your time, students who prove that youth is not only about dreams but also about actions. Youth and student life mean living in the here and now — the opportunity to do, to act today, to make mistakes, to learn, and to move forward step by step from small aspirations to great goals. The 'Your Move' project is a big family where every student can discover new horizons, find like-minded people, and bring their initiatives to life. And we will undoubtedly support them because, as history shows, the greatest victories always begin with small ideas," said Grigory Gurov, head of the Federal Agency for Youth Affairs (Rosmolodezh).

One of the most touching moments of the Forum's Closing Ceremony was a marriage proposal made by a student from Elista right on stage. After her performance, singer Anet Sai invited a young man to the microphone, where he confessed his feelings to the entire audience and proposed to his beloved.
