“Over the past years, this meaningful and highly relevant project has provided tens of thousands of young people from many regions of Russia with an excellent opportunity to fully showcase their talents, creativity and organisational skills, leading to significant achievements in their chosen fields.
I would like to emphasise that the contestants represent a wide array of professions, spanning business, public administration, science, education, healthcare and the social sphere.
