At the end of March, more than 200 people gathered at the student council forum, the largest and most significant event for all activists of the student self-government of SPbPU dormitories. The event was held in the Student Club. The forum was organized by United Student Council of SPbPU Dormitories.
The forum is not just an event within the walls of the Polytechnic University, it is a platform that has been uniting hundreds of people, dozens of student councils of dormitories and several universities for the fourth year. The forum is aimed at improving the quality of the results of our self-government, interaction and exchange of experience, increasing legal literacy, as well as creating connections between members of our organization, – noted the chairman of the United Student Council of the Polytechnic Dormitories Thomas Shochenmayer.
This year the event was held on four tracks.
Track one was a student council competition, where teams demonstrated their experience in self-government and developed competencies.
Track two is a competition for class leaders, in which the students presented their projects to improve the quality of life of students in dormitories.
Track three is the SPbPU OSS award. Its goal is to stimulate the work of student councils, identify and encourage best practices in 11 nominations (Leisure, Comfort, Adaptation, Rights, Self-realization, Health, Ecology, Safety, Work with foreign students, Information work, Corporate culture).
Track 4 – “Lead with your heart”. A track aimed at improving the communication skills of potential leaders to improve their effectiveness in interacting with administrative bodies and other student organizations, as well as providing participants with effective tools for managing in dormitories.
The training covered the most relevant topics for activists.
“Values and motivation” (Anna Kalugina, director of the psychological support center “Tochka Opory”). “Teamwork and healthy communication” (Angelina Kulanova, acting director of the Student Club). “Grants without panic, or how to win from A to Z” (Maxim Ruzakov, head of the cultural and mass department of the OSS). “The art of negotiations” (Thomas Shochenmayer, chairman of the OSS SPbPU).
The guys learned about team building, values and motivation for their activities. In practice, they solved cases, learned to negotiate, and also experienced the entire life cycle of the Dormitory Council.
The forum has become larger. More strong teams, real leaders have appeared. It is now much more difficult to determine the best. New nominations have been added. The interest from universities in St. Petersburg and other cities has grown, – said Galina Melekhova, Deputy Director of the SPbPU Student City for Educational Work.
The event was attended by over 30 guests from other universities: SPbGLTU, NovSU, SPSU and VShTE. They took part in the training track, and the chairmen of the student councils of the Mining University and the Higher School of Technology and Energy became experts of the competition.
Director of the SPbPU Student City Vyacheslav Olshevsky emphasized: From year to year, the level of the forum is noticeably growing, gaining momentum, being brighter, more powerful, stronger. The guys get the necessary skills, pump up their competencies in various areas, especially in student self-government.
All teams tried very hard to win, their performances were very bright, memorable. The jury had a difficult task: to determine the best among the best.
