This project is the winner of the All-Russian competition of youth projects of the Federal Agency for Youth Affairs (Rosmolodezh). StSAU student self-government was recognized as one of the best in the country. The first All-Russian School of activists of higher educational institutions of the Ministry of Agriculture of the Russian Federation "VKoren" was held in 2019 in Pyatigorsk. Then our region was visited by students from 16 subjects of the country. This year, more than 150 guests from 21 regions came to the camp, although more than 250 applications were submitted.
The aim of the project is to create a single friendly network community between student activists of agrarian universities of the country. This is the first and only event of such scale among Russian higher education institutions. In fact, "VKoren 2.0" is a professional training of student activists: the project participants are offered not only new competences, but also effective algorithms of work organization.
The organizer is the Stavropol State Agrarian University.
Speakers of the camp were members of the Association of Trainers of the Russian Union of Youth, representatives of the Center for Youth Projects of the Stavropol Territory, activists of the Stavropol State Agrarian University. Work was carried out in several directions: student self-government, student detachments, media, mentoring, volunteerism. Within 5 days, the teams from agrarian universities of the country participated in master classes, competitions and foresight-sessions.
"I came from St. Petersburg and was just amazed when I found myself in Stavropol State Agrarian University. I did not expect to see such a scale! It seems to me that in such a place, even if you want to, you can't sit still! You want to create, create, create! I chose "Mentoring" because I am a mentor at my university. But I know and see the achievements of the Stavropol Agrarian University activists, and their experience is very valuable knowledge! Especially easy to take information from students like us. The educational block was held in the same breath and on the same wave! It only remains to bring the luggage of skills home!" - Danil Shinkarev, St. Petersburg State Agrarian University.
The result is educational products, specific roadmaps that students can use in their activities at home - in their native universities. Also there is post-support from trainers and speakers of the project.
"I believe that the agrarian universities of Russia are a kind of elite student club. We're all so cool here, so cool! On the first day, when everyone got acquainted, I wanted to walk around and ask everyone about their achievements, learn about successful cases. We are one big happy family, and we are really happy that Stavropol could bring us all together in one place! Thanks a lot to the curators, organizers, mentors, and speakers! I joined the Media field, because I am involved in student media at the university and I can see that we have a lot to learn from St. Petersburg State Agrarian University. Your TV projects - wow! I hope that after master-classes I will be able to do something similar in Izhevsk" - Ilya Karnaukhov, Izhevsk State Agricultural Academy.
At the closing ceremony the activists were welcomed by Vladimir Nikolaevich Sitnikov, Acting Rector of Stavropol State Agrarian University. From his hands the best of the best received awards.
"Today we are closing the Student Activist School. There are representatives of twenty-one agrarian universities in the hall - many came to Stavropol from such distant regions as Primorye and Eastern Siberia. Let's thank our former students Yana and Diana, who came up with such a great event. Thanks to their activity it took place. The agro-industrial complex of our country is the locomotive of our country. It successfully copes with the pressure of sanctions on our country. This is evidenced by increased production, increased revenues, etc. It is very important to maintain the dynamics of the agro-industrial complex. It is impossible to do this without modern professional specialists. I would like to wish all graduates of the activists' school to realize themselves. To bring the experience gained here to your universities and to implement it. Your task is to become the driver of your region. This is the most important thing!", - said Vladimir Nikolaevich.
