The regional youth forum "#OSA" for working, including rural, youth, dedicated to the 105th anniversary of the All-Union Leninist Young Communist League (Komsomol) and the 60th anniversary of the Belarusian Student Brigades, gathered over 100 participants at the "Energetik" children's health camp in the village of Malye Lyottsy, Vitebsk District. The Deputy Chairman of the Regional Executive Committee, Vyacheslav Durnov, took part in the grand opening.
– The BRSM unites youth and creates conditions for their self-realisation in various fields of activity. Today, the student brigade movement is the best thing that the modern Belarusian Republican Youth Union has adopted from the Komsomol. For the development of the state, it is important that youth, in unity, are ready to work for the benefit and prosperity of their native country, – noted Vyacheslav Durnov. – With your real deeds, you are making a worthy contribution to the development of our Motherland. Patriotism, diligence, and the continuity of generations are at the core of the youth movement. It can be confidently said that the future of the country is in reliable hands.
Within the framework of the forum, the results of the Third Labour Semester were summed up, and the best student brigades, labour affairs headquarters, commanders, and commissars were awarded based on the results of the regional stage of the republican competition "Labour Semester" for the best student brigade and the best organisation hosting a student brigade. The opening ceremony will conclude with a festive flash mob dedicated to the 105th anniversary of the Komsomol. During the forum, the Vitebsk region joined the republican "Heat Relay" campaign for chopping firewood. The fighters will deliver the wood to Tamara Sheptun, a lonely elderly resident from the village of Zaprudye, Vitebsk District.
Activists will also enjoy a sports and competition program where participants will demonstrate their strength and endurance. In the evening, the results will be summed up and the winning teams will be awarded.
