Mikhail Rumyantsev attended the “Environment and Urbanization,” “Scientific Development,” and “Historical Reconstruction” sites, where he learned a lot about separate waste collection, the problem of dependence on social networks, and visited the exposition of items from the Great Patriotic War. The event ended with a concert at the Pulkovets Youth House.
“The most interesting thing was to hear about the impact of the Internet, about how strongly social networks influence the formation of our opinions on various issues. I was also greatly impressed by the exhibition with household items, uniforms and weapons of soldiers of the Great Patriotic War,” said Mikhail Rumyantsev.
According to the Master’s degree student, the essence of such events is educating young people in the spirit of patriotism and involving them in solving pressing social problems.
