The decisive stage of the large-scale competition is being hosted for the first time by the All-Russian Children’s Center “Eagle”. This is reported by the press service of the regional government.

The honor of the Irkutsk region at the federal level is protected by guys from Irkutsk, as well as the Irkutsk and Nizhneilimsky districts. The final stage brought together 1,500 participants from all over Russia – 150 teams and 565 individual finalists. The live broadcast of the opening ceremony will start on October 28 in the official community of the VDC “Eagle” in the social network “Vkontakte”.

At stake are large cash prizes: winners of the first degree will receive 1 million rubles, the second degree – 200 thousand rubles, the third – 100 thousand rubles. Support will be given to teachers-mentors of the finalists: they will be paid from 50 to 200 thousand rubles, and will also be given the opportunity to undergo specialized educational programs from the partners of the competition.

As emphasized in the regional branch of the First Movement, the project has become a reliable social elevator for the youth of the Angara region. It opens up opportunities for talented children from Siberian cities and towns to express themselves throughout the country, find like-minded people and attract real resources to implement their initiatives.

The contest “Big Change” is the flagship project of the First Movement, implemented within the framework of the national project “Youth and Children” and is part of the presidential platform “Russia is a country of opportunities”.
