"To Inspire Through Living Stories": an educational programme launches at the National Centre RUSSIA in Yugra
On the day of the grand opening of the National Centre RUSSIA in Yugra, an educational programme dedicated to the heroic deeds and achievements of our country began at the venue. Attendees will get acquainted with real-life examples of courage and success, hear stories about people whose actions inspire new generations, and discuss how personal achievements are linked to the country's development.
"It is important for us not just to showcase the country's achievements but also to tell about the people who created them. Today's programme is an opportunity to see examples of courage and success in practice, to learn how personal achievements are linked to the development of the region and the entire country. The National Centre creates a platform where everyone can ask questions, discuss their ideas, and be inspired by real stories. We want enlightenment to become lively, interactive, and understandable to everyone, so that each participant feels a connection with the heroes of our time and understands that the region's development begins with each of us," said Anton Pilipas, head of the National Centre RUSSIA in Yugra.
The enlightening programme is prepared in collaboration with the Russian society Znanie in the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Area – Yugra.
"The opening of the National Centre RUSSIA in Yugra is a real celebration for the entire enlightening system of the region. Today, we are conducting an educational lecture series about real-life heroes of our time — people who, through their actions, demonstrate loyalty to values, love for the Motherland, and set an example for the younger generation. This is our shared mission with the National Centre — to inspire through living stories, foster a sense of responsibility and patriotism, and create a space for open dialogue and exchange of experience between people of different ages and professions. I am confident that joint projects will help make the regional enlightening community even stronger and more open to new ideas," said Nikolai Kachin, director of the Russian society Znanie in Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Area – Yugra.
The educational block programme includes several themed meetings. First, participants will explore the "True Stories: A Conversation with the Heroes of Our Time," together with such speakers as Pavel Rusin, participant in the federal programme "Time of Heroes," recipient of the Order of Courage and the medal "For Valour," and Ruslan Vakhitov, participant in the project "Heroes of Yugra" and recipient of the Order of Courage. They will share experiences of actions that saved lives and inspire new generations.
Further, lectures and dialogues will continue to explore opportunities for the development of youth and citizens within the block "Our Champion: A Success Story from Yugra." Here, participants will be able to hear the story of victories from Russian taekwondo athlete, Olympic champion, and two-time European Champion Maxim Khramtsov, and to learn about discipline, diligence, and the path to high achievements.
The programme will conclude with the block "The Champion's Path: Personal Experience and Modern Opportunities for Youth," where Olympic Champion Roman Kostomarov and European and World champion, Olympic bronze medallist Oksana Domnina will talk about achieving goals, professional growth, and building a character through sport.
In a conversation with journalists, Anton Pilipas noted that the enlightening programme is one of the key areas of activity for the National Centre RUSSIA. In the future, events of interest to audiences of all ages are planned.
"Motivational meetings, lectures, and discussions featuring well-known speakers from Yugra and Russia, are planned. We are going to continue cooperation with the Russian society Znanie, and we thank our colleagues for their support on the opening day," said Anton Pilipas, head of the National Centre RUSSIA in Yugra.
