The Your Move All-Russian student project, which is part of the series of projects of the presidential platform “Russia Is a Land of Opportunities” and is being implemented with the support of the Federal Agency for Youth Affairs (Rosmolodezh), and the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation, has announced the start of the anniversary fifth season on the Russian Students Day, the organizers report.
Students from the Chelyabinsk Region can take part in both traditional and new competition tracks, including team ones, as well as in updated special projects.
“Your Move is one of the main student projects in Russia, and its scale is growing every year. I know that thousands of students across our country are eagerly awaiting for the start of the anniversary season. We are launching five competition tracks, including two new team tracks, one of which is created for regional teams of the project. There are other innovations. For example, teachers, employees and vice-rectors of universities and vocational education institutions can now take part in the “Your Move x Debattle” special project; and the “Your Move x Improvisation” special project gives an opportunity to choose one of three areas - become a member of a duet, a curator of a university club, or a comedy coach. Let's make the new season bright and memorable together!” said Alexey Agafonov, First Deputy General Director of the presidential platform “Russia Is a Land of Opportunities”.
The fifth season of the Your Move project includes five competition tracks, including two new ones: “I Unite” and “I Inspire”:
– The “I Do” track is aimed at identifying leadership positions among students, whose projects involve others into changes in our country. Based on the results of the track, 100 projects will be identified, the leaders of which will receive a prize of 1,000,000 roubles, which can be used to pay for tuition at Russian educational institutions, improve housing conditions, or develop their own projects.
– The “I Open” (formerly “PervoproKhodets”) track will allow first-year students to make themselves known, get acquainted with the opportunities of the student community and the ecosystem of our country’s youth policy. Based on the results of the competitive tests, the top 200 winners will be determined, who will receive a prize from the project for the next six months of study. The track was launched for the first time last season, more than 35000 applications were received for participation in it, and this year, students of secondary vocational education will be able to take part in it for the first time.
– The “I Unite” team track is intended for students of higher education institutions – members of youth organizations. It is designed to create a unified student community and involve students in social activity.
– The “I Inspire” track was created for regional teams of the Your Move project and is designed to inspire activity, reveal the potential of regional teams and evaluate their contribution to the development of the “Your Move” united student community throughout Russia.
– The “I Define” track will continue to study the opinions of the Russian student community on current issues in the higher education system.
“Your Move is not just a project, but a community that unites students from all over our country. The fifth season has become special and significant: we have symbolically launched five competition tracks and special projects that will cover the widest possible range of student initiatives and abilities. It is important for us that students have equal opportunities regardless of the form of study, so you can take part in the competition tracks in the fifth season both individually and in a team. Students of both higher and professional educational institutions can make themselves known. Our main goal is to support students and their desire to live and create in Russia, so the project has established a scholarship that will help to appreciate their contribution. It is important that Your Move not only strives to help participants reveal their talents, but also forms in young people a sense of belonging to a large society, nurturing a sense of patriotism and responsibility for the future of their country,” said Iuliia Epifanova, Head of the Your Move All-Russian student project.
Special competition tracks will appear for the first time in the fifth season — these are additional competition directions that are organized and held jointly with partners of the Your Move project in parallel with the main competition tracks throughout the year. Upon completing them, the winners will receive memorable gifts from the partners.
The project will include the second season of the “Live and Create in Russia” educational program (previously “Voice of a Generation. Students”), aimed at training leaders of the student community, as well as the “Your Move, Leader!” all-Russian competition of student group leaders. In addition, regional clubs will be assembled at universities and on the basis of regional teams for the special projects “Your Move x Debattle” and “Your Move x Improvisation”.
This season, the special project “Your Move x Debattle” will be divided into two leagues for the first time: spring and autumn. In addition to the track, in which students of universities and vocational education institutions take part, a new category of participants will appear: teachers, employees and vice-rectors of universities and vocational education institutions. In the second season of the “Your Move x Improvisation” special project, you can take part in one of three roles: become a participant in the games as part of a duet, curator of the university improvisation club, or take part as a coach in comedy and improvisation.
In addition, in the fifth season of the project, the “Your Move” career centre will begin operating, which will help students develop professional skills and successfully integrate into the labour market.
