The best innovations and projects.

The innovative potential of the Grodno youth is enormous. Every year, our young people develop unique and promising projects, many of which receive the highest praise at republican and international competitions. For example, representatives of the Grodno region have more than once won prize places in the republican competition of youth initiatives, which is held by the BRSM. A correspondent of "GP" contacted the innovators of this year, whose developments have been recognized as the best at the regional stage and will soon be sent to conquer the republic.

"Fort No. 14" at the GGAU

Sergey Senyuta, a 4th-year student of the Faculty of Economics and Accounting at the Grodno State Agrarian University, has developed a concept for an open multifunctional space on the university's territory, where one can strengthen physical and fire training, as well as immerse oneself in the historical past of the Grodno region. The idea of creating a training center at his university, literally a few minutes from the main building, came to Sergey during his service in the reserve.

"I shared my idea with Olga Mosko, the secretary of the primary organization of the Belarusian Republican Youth Union at our university, and we worked together on developing the concept," Sergey Senyuta explains. "The benefit of this cluster is that not only students but also those with whom the university cooperates, including schoolchildren, will be able to engage in activities on the site. In addition, our university has a youth squad for maintaining law and order, which could also train there."

The author's idea is that the military-patriotic cluster "Fort No. 14" will include three areas: an indoor shooting range with tables and targets, an obstacle course with bars and walls, as well as information stands with historical references to the heroes of the Great Patriotic War and its key events in the Grodno region. But why exactly "Fort No. 14"?

"I used to visit various excursions to places of military memory, and I also visited forts - defensive structures from the time of the Great Patriotic War - while I was in school," Sergey explains. "There are many of them in Grodno and the Grodno district, so I decided that our site should have exactly this name."

If the initiative wins the competition and receives funding for implementation, construction of the site can begin as early as next year.

Outdoor Cinema

About 3 years ago, within the Grodno Regional Children's and Youth Council, which today includes more than 400 young people, an idea was born to create a multifunctional outdoor space on the territory of the regional Palace of Creativity for Children and Youth – "KUB".

– From the moment the idea was conceived to the present day, we have been refining and modernizing the concept so that we have every chance of winning the competition of youth initiatives, – says Anastasia Bonik, curator of the regional children's and youth council. – The Palace of Creativity is a point of attraction for young people from all over the region. A lot has already been done here to make every child and parent feel comfortable and interested. And with the emergence of a new platform, young people from Grodno will have even more opportunities for useful leisure activities.

Watching movies, showing social videos, announcements of events, and more – all this will become possible thanks to the main highlight of the platform – a large LED screen right at the main entrance to the Palace of Creativity. Benches and soft poufs will be placed here, additional lighting will be organized, and flowers will be planted.

It is planned that the outdoor area will operate year-round. Of course, in late autumn and winter, it will be problematic to sit on soft poufs, but the project authors promise to think through this moment and equip the area so that it can be rested here at any time of the year.

– For example, in winter, a New Year's performance can be organized on the platform. In general, the area is perfect for hosting various game programs that our Palace of Creativity is famous for, – concluded Anastasia Bonik.

Media Center for Slonim Medics

A graduate of Slonim Medical College, now an employee, Darya Romanina, came up with the initiative to create a media space in the college. The girl is confident that the information media center will become an excellent platform for career guidance, as well as attract young people to active public life.

The media center is expected to provide a space for young medics to access information, develop their skills, and engage in social activities. With the creation of this center, the college aims to provide its students with a comprehensive and supportive environment that fosters their personal and professional growth.

– When I was a student, I saw that we were not fully utilizing our potential in the media space. And yet, in the age of modern technology, this is an effective way to tell about ourselves and our achievements, about the opportunities that the college offers. Here, excellent personnel are being trained, and at the same time, numerous events are held year-round. Students participate in competitions, win, and deserve to have news about them seen by as many people as possible, – says Darya Romanina.

As a student, Darya joined the active youth and became responsible for information support in the college, and after her studies, she went to her first job in her specialty. Now the girl is receiving higher pedagogical education, and in August of this year, she returned to the Slonim Medical College already as an employee – a teacher of additional education.

– If the project wins the competition, we will be able to equip a photo and video studio in the college, as well as an IT zone for graphic design. We will purchase equipment and create high-quality content, prepare reports, and shoot video clips for memorable dates and state holidays. I am sure that creative guys will immediately come to the media center. The college management will take care of decorating the space, but we will be able to purchase equipment only if the initiative wins the competition, – said the author of the project.

It will be known by the end of the year who exactly will win the republican competition of youth initiatives this year. In total, 10 initiatives from the Grodno region have passed to the final stage of the competition.
