On 20 January, as part of the presentation of the 17th All-Russian contest My Country – My Russia at the State University of Management, an agreement on cooperation was signed between the State University of Management, the All-Russian Union of Public Associations Youth Socio-Economic Initiatives and the management of the All-Russian contest.

The agreement envisages joint development and implementation of projects and programmes in the field of cultural, educational, sports and tourist activities among young people.

Rector of the State University of Management Ivan Lobanov emphasised the particular importance of the project work and social mission of the contest My Country – My Russia as well as its role in facilitating student participation in solving socio-economic problems of Russia’s regions.

Each year, the contest My Country – My Russia helps tens of thousands of young people realise their ideas, find like-minded people, develop themselves within their specialty, find innovative solutions, believe in the future of their ideas and implement projects. The university provides training in project activities, and the contest provides an opportunity to apply the acquired knowledge in practice.  I am sure that the contest will become a new stage in the professional and personal development for many young people. Administrators and lecturers from the university will support the initiatives of goal-oriented and active students; we will assist in the design, implementation and development of projects,

Curator of the expert community of the contest My Country – My Russia, Director of the Economics and Finance Institute of the State University of Management Galina Sorokina described the application procedure for participating in the contest as an expert.

We would like to see specialists from different industries participate in the expert community. A broad perspective on projects promotes their development and provides new ways of solving problems. Working in the expert community promotes professional growth and expands the network of contacts. Expert work is a unique experience for teachers: it develops pedagogical and psychological qualities, helps build communication with students and understand the values and educational needs of young people,
