Irina Chelpanova and All-Russian Congress on Youth Policy and Educational Work

Irina Chelpanova, an employee of Irkutsk Polytechnic University, took part in the All-Russian Congress on Youth Policy and Educational Work. The event was held on December 14–16 at the Plekhanov Russian University of Economics and was included into the forum program «Your Turn-2022».

The discussion platform, organized by the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of Russia, brought together about 500 vice-rectors of the universities, representatives of executive authorities, offices of plenipotentiary representatives of the President in federal districts and Rosmolodezh.
Sergey Novikov, Head of the Presidential Office for Public Projects, and Valery Falkov, Minister of Science and Higher Education, spoke at the plenary session. They stressed the importance of educational work in universities.
The results of large-scale research were presented on the Congress. They demonstrate the interests of modern youth. The discussions were replaced by teamwork, during which the participants analyzed the target groups of universities. They presented projects in the form of Gantt charts — illustrations of how tasks and work results change over time.

Irina Chelpanova, Head of the Department for Youth Policy of INRTU, together with colleagues from other regions studied Rosmolodezh programs in which undergraduates can participate.

«Our group has identified six areas that are important for this category of students. At the university, undergraduates receive knowledge on the chosen program, prepare a thesis, conduct scientific research. The projects «More than a journey» and «More than a job», various acceleration programs will help to achieve some success in this. Young people devote their extracurricular time to work, family and hobbies. Courses on financial literacy are relevant here, participation in competitions that help commercialize developments, for example, «Rosmolodezh. Grants».

We should add that at the closing of the Forum, the ethnic percussion studio «Ethnobit» IRNTU received gratitude for its contribution to the development of student creativity. The band work was highly appreciated by Valery Falkov, Minister of Science and Higher Education of Russia and Pavel Krasnorutsky, chairman of the Russian Youth Union.
