The importance of the Day of national unity youth discussed through the game, questions and even AI

A united Belarus is based on the knowledge of its history, respect for elders and creation on its land. This was stated by youth speaker Yaroslav Davydenko at the meeting “Belarus adzinaya!” in Nesvizh State College named after Yakub Kolas, the correspondent of the agency “Minsk-Novosti” reports.

Me. Davydenko reminded the students about the period when the Belarusian lands were divided, and about the events of September 17, 1939, which marked the beginning of reunification. But the main focus of the speaker proposed to focus not only on the past, but also on what history tells modern man.

- Loyalty to memory and tradition are not loud slogans. It's daily patriotism. Knowing your history, respecting your elders, building on your land – these are the three pillars on which the united Belarus rests.

The conversation about the memorable date was not the language of reports and dates - in its course, the word was increasingly taken by students themselves. According to sophomore Alexandra Alexeychik, who is preparing to become a primary school teacher, the value of such a format is precisely in the ability to speak freely, on equal terms.

- You are not afraid to say what you think and feel. I would definitely use this experience in my future work with children, she said.

It compares national unity to family.

Third-year student Anastasia Vitko drew attention not so much to the form of the event, but to the feeling that it creates.

- We seem to be on the same wavelength, said A. Vitko.

This feeling was described by many participants of the meeting. For them, this means the opportunity not to listen to a ready-made answer, but to engage in a conversation, ask questions, argue, agree and formulate their own attitude to history.

According to Karina Klyuchnik, the meeting was not like a regular lecture. The format itself is more like a game program - it is more dynamic than usual. As a result, it was interesting, not boring, it was possible to get emotions and new knowledge.

For the visual part of the meeting, the speakers used images created using AI. The basis was downloaded historical material about the situation of Western Belarus within Poland and the division of Belarusian lands. The resulting images were proposed to be considered, analyzed and discussed together.

The initiator of this approach was Y. Davydenko. According to him, the main task of such meetings is not just to convey information, but to make young people want to hear it.

- Young people need information not in the form of a boring lecture, but in the format of a live dialogue, in the youth language. Clear facts, attention to questions and opinions of the guys themselves - that's what really works, the speaker said.
