In Minsk, the best representatives of the capital’s youth were awarded the prize “For Action!”

The solemn ceremony of awarding the annual incentive youth prize "For the cause!" was held in the historical and cultural complex "Loshitsky" on November 12, the correspondent of the agency "Minsk-Novosti".

The Minsk city organization BRSM celebrates its 24th birthday. In honor of this event is traditionally held the presentation of the youth award “For business!”. This year, 52 representatives of the capital’s youth received awards. Of the more than 300 participants, they chose those who made a significant contribution to the development of the city. Among the nominees are leaders in sports, science, social activities, creativity and other fields. A total of 10 nominations were submitted.

- Today, in a warm, informal atmosphere, the city leadership communicates with young people on an equal footing, without ties, demonstrating that it is always in touch and ready to support the initiatives of young people, said Alexey Pikus, First Secretary of the Minsk City Committee of BRSM. This year, IHO BRSM boasts a record number of participants. A lot of work has been done, including the opening of the Youth Square, and the anniversary year with even more ambitious plans is ahead. The main value and basis of the organization is people, their ideas and mutual support.

According to the Chairman of the Minsk City Council Artem Tsuran, modern capital youth is distinguished by the desire to prove themselves, the ability to set goals, as well as ease of communication. Among them, there is a high demand for education, especially in those areas that allow you to quickly start a professional path.

- Today we meet with young people who have tried themselves as organizers, provided themselves with useful leisure and additional earnings in the summer. These guys are responsible not only for themselves, but also for friends, which means that they are ready for managerial decisions, albeit for now within a small team, Tsuran said. A large number of initiative young people in Minsk indicate that all conditions for their development have been created in the city and in the country. In any direction you can prove yourself, find a calling and make friends. The most important thing is to have the desire and not be indifferent to what is happening around.

As Deputy Chairman of the Minsk City Executive Committee Andrey Strigelsky noted, BRSM is not just the most numerous youth organization, but a truly powerful and strong movement. It unites like-minded, caring guys who sincerely care about all the processes taking place in the city and the country.

- With the participation of young people, key decisions on the development of the city are being made today. This applies to absolutely all spheres: from housing and communal services, construction and improvement and ending with education and health care. We are in constant dialogue with young people. Today, the best guys here, who by their deeds, actions, initiatives and projects have proved that they are devoted to the country, the organization and the city. We are proud of our youth! – said A. Strigelsky.

Among the winners of the award is the teacher-organizer of secondary school No. 89 Eva Polyakova. The girl is engaged in shooting videos and promoting social networks.

- I like the team and its cohesion. We work together on projects such as Student Queen, Miss and Mr. Student, Student of the Year. It gives me new acquaintances, friends and opportunities to implement in different directions. For example, I happened to visit not only behind the camera, but also as a news anchor. This is an experience that I will be able to use in the future, Polyakova said.

The award for work in information and image activity was received by BSMU student Anastasia Sambuk. The girl is engaged in the creation of content and information support of events that are now taking place in the organization.

- It is important to me that I appreciate my work and efforts. From the outside, it may seem that the work is simple, because it is just a video, but in fact there is a huge work of the whole team behind it. It is very important that all of this is encouraged. It is a great honor for me to receive this award, shared A. Sambuk.

For civil-patriotic education of youth, the secretary of the primary organization of the NGO “BRSM” of the mechanical engineering faculty of BNTU Denis Syrets was noted.

- I try to encourage other students to show initiative: I wonder who wants to do what, who likes what. We often go to memorable places, orphanages, animal shelters, plant trees. This is a social work that forms patriotism and a sense of spiritual community among children, says D. Syretz. Most of all, I like to organize such large projects as Student of the Year or Student Queen and see the results. Our primary organization has a very friendly team.
