"The agreement between the Movement of the First and the Institute for the Development of Vocational Education is a significant step toward expanding opportunities for the development and support of children and young people with disabilities. We plan to implement a series of joint events, exchange experiences, and provide training for specialists of the Movement of the First in the regions based at resource and training methodological centres of secondary vocational education, as well as regional training centres for Abilympics experts," noted Chairman of the Board of the Movement of the First, Artur Orlov.

"Signing the agreement with the Movement of the First marks the beginning of joint projects focused on the future. In this future, today's boys and girls will create and build. Our goal is to inspire them with a love for work, show them the limitless opportunities for self-fulfillment, and strengthen their patriotic values. Today, the system of secondary vocational education offers a fast track into a profession, a chance to become the architect of one’s own destiny by building it on the solid foundation of a sought-after specialty. The projects implemented by the Institute for the Development of Vocational Education, such as "Professionalism," the All-Russian Championship Movement, and the Abilympics movement, are bridges connecting the dreams of youth with reality. I am confident that our partnership will become a powerful impetus for the development of a society of creation, where everyone has the opportunity to showcase their talents and contribute to the prosperity of the country," said the Vice Rector of the Institute for Vocational Education, Nadezhda Malkina.
The participants of the Movement of the First will have the opportunity to take part in the national and regional Abilympic" championships, as well as in the regional championships in professional skills "Professionals."

The Movement of the First pays great attention to the inclusion of children with disabilities in the organization’s main events. The First are creating an accessible environment, which has led to the development of special tracks for the participation of children with disabilities in all flagship projects and key large-scale events. For instance, students with disabilities participated in the IV Congress of the Movement of the First, and during the broadcast of the Supervisory Board meeting and the Congress meeting, sign language interpretation was provided for the children.

The events clearly demonstrate the ideas of the Movement of the First, where schoolchildren and students are the initiators of projects, as well as the transmitters of the country's traditional values.
