Let all Russia know! – Samara University
Samara University students from the Sokol search squad took part in the media forum “Without a statute of limitations. Let all Russia know”, which took place from 2 to 4 December in our vast country. The forum was dedicated to the tragedy of the world population during the Great Patriotic War.
“Without a statute of limitations” is a large-scale educational project aimed at preserving the memory of the Great Patriotic War among contemporaries. Within the framework of the project, archival documents are declassified, they are held at work, passing events and scientific conferences are held, schoolchildren and students take part in small matters as volunteers, groups of the search movement.
For two days, the guys learned the art of journalism, blogging and video filming. Among them are Elena Moiseevna Tsunaeva, deputy of the State Duma and executive secretary of the Search Movement of Russia OOD, Ruslan Ostashko, Russian TV presenter and blogger, Yegor Salnikov, actor, poet and producer (he is remembered for the project “Give Youth”) and many others. The forum participants considered the features of social activities within the framework of the project “Without statute of limitations” and in connection with the history of the world political situation, taught how to write news and reports, demonstrated the basics of military correspondence.
“We thought about the fact that there should be special people who will talk about history, genocide, and search work. My deep conviction is that when you talk about such a serious topic, it is important to find people who could talk about the topics of the project “Without a statute of limitations”, “History of a feat” through themselves, not from the point of view of their personal participation, but story through your emotions, – says Elena Moiseevna.
Also, in between serious topics, they read poetry, taught acting skills and held rallying games.
Despite the tight schedule, the guys managed to make friends with many forum participants from different regions, work together on team projects and exchange experience in the media sphere and promising ideas.
At the end of the forum, all your skills are collected. Our team has arrived for such modern Internet sites as young people are interested in, like VKontakte Clips or TikTok. The guys from Sokol are sure that if we are talking about serious things in separate places, conveniently and attentively for the representatives of the younger generation, then it is possible, with the involvement of a wide audience, to interest more people and make them think about such things as the fight against Nazism during the Second World War and now. With the help of many ideas, they presented themselves to the jury, who highly appreciated their work.
Yevgeny Gavrilov, an activist of the Sokol search squad, shared his impressions after the forum:
– I got to such an event and I liked everything. I gained new knowledge that will be useful to me in the future, met like-minded people from different regions of our country, with whom I can exchange search experience and show interests. I hope I will get the opportunity to get on such forums.
After defending their projects, all participants received memorable prizes, as well as certificates about the festival. But the most valuable gift is the invaluable experience and knowledge that we received at this event and will use in the future.
The patriotism of the people is the primary foundation of every state. It is especially good when it is young people who are patriotic – those people who determine the path of the country’s development, are the driving force of society, have an active citizenship, and express significant ideas.
Despite the difficult situation in the world and various campaigns with all parties, there are many patriotic youth, our guys are proud of the reporting on the Sokol search squad, where they met military-patriotic employment.
