The results of the All-Russian competition “Volunteer School” have been summed up. It is held annually within the framework of the federal project “Social Activity”, aimed at creating conditions for the development and support of volunteerism (volunteering) as a key element of social responsibility of a developed civil society.
One of the goals of the competition is to develop and shape a culture of volunteerism in Russia among children and young people. The event promotes the popularization of the volunteer movement, identifying and disseminating best practices.
Students of the Higher School of Media Communications and Public Relations of the Humanitarian Institute, studying in the direction of “Advertising and Public Relations”, submitted a student project “Polytech Gives Warmth!” to the competition. It has been implemented at the Higher School of Media Communications and Public Relations under the supervision of Associate Professor Elina Avakova for the fourth year. The key area of activity is career guidance events for orphans, which are held in centers for promoting family education.
The jury awarded the project 1st place in the nomination “Practices aimed at providing assistance to orphans and children left without parental care, as well as children experiencing problems establishing friendly contacts with peers.”
We have implemented many events, prepared competition applications and, most importantly, brought joy to people. This kindness makes us happier, because it always returns multiplied several times – with good events and reciprocal care from other people. We hope that our example inspires others to small but significant actions that will make the world around them better, – said 3rd year student of the Higher School of Music and Social Sciences Daria Vlasevskaya.
For the project activists Sofia Ryabinina, Daria Vlasevskaya, Anastasia Tryakina, Karina Olkhovikova and Daria Zaitseva, this is not the first achievement. The team has victories in various city, all-Russian and international competitions. Thus, in December 2024, the girls won the regional competition “Young Volunteer of St. Petersburg”, which is aimed at supporting the best volunteer initiatives aimed at helping people and improving the quality of life. The project activists successfully coped with the defense in the final and won 1st place in the track “Helping People”.
Volunteering plays an important role in the education, socialization and professionalization of young people. Our project gives students the opportunity to express themselves in various interaction models, gain communication experience, develop positive qualities, which contributes to their harmonious personal growth, and also helps to acquire the skills necessary in future professional activities, – shared the project manager Elina Avakova.
