More than 60 teenagers from the Volga Federal District have developed ethno-cultural projects in the Ulyanovsk region

In the Ulyanovsk region, the first youth shift of the Assembly of Peoples of Russia “Code – Unity” has ended. More than 60 teenagers from the regions of the Volga Federal District have developed projects dedicated to interethnic communication and the preservation of cultural traditions.

The shift took place from 24 to 31 October in the children’s health center “Youth”. Its participants were boys and girls aged 16-17 years.

During the week, teenagers got acquainted with the culture of the Volga region, participated in master classes on folk dances and traditional needlework, ethno-cultural quizzes and educational classes.

The main result of the change was the participants’ own projects. The children prepared ethno-cultural media materials, prototypes of board games and initiatives that they plan to develop in their regions.

At the closing ceremony, Governor Alexei Russkikh noted that representatives of more than a hundred peoples live in the Ulyanovsk region, and thanked the organizers for holding the first youth shift.

The next change “Code – Unity” will be held in the Republic of Mari El. The right to hold it was symbolically transferred to the head of the region Yuri Zaitsev.

During the meeting, the heads of the two regions also discussed the development of industrial and cultural cooperation.
