Nizhny Novgorod's Children of Nizhny forum spotlights young leaders and student projects
Nizhny Novgorod is set to host the Children of Nizhny city forum, gathering 180 young leaders from across the region. The event will showcase student initiatives and crown the winners of a citywide competition for school activists. Organisers aim to highlight successful projects and encourage new ideas for youth engagement.
The forum is a joint effort by the city's Department of Education and the Leadership Competencies Faculty of the V.P. Chkalov Palace of Young Pioneers. It will feature the final round of Prosmotr (Spotlight), a competition for student self-governance groups. Eleven teams, all winners of district-level contests, will present their work to a panel of judges.
Participants will also take part in City in Action, a business simulation where they can pitch projects and vote on one to be implemented. The session builds on past successes, such as School No. 57's 2018 anti-bullying programme, Friendly School, which trained 200 peer mediators and cut bullying reports by 40%. Another model project, the 2022 Volga River clean-up by Yunarmeytsy, saw 1,500 children collect 10 tons of waste.
After the main events, partners will run open workshops for all attendees. The forum's focus remains on sharing best practices and inspiring further collaboration among youth groups.
The forum will wrap up with a winning team selected from the Prosmotr competition. A new community initiative will also be chosen for development through City in Action. Organisers plan to use the outcomes to strengthen youth participation in Nizhny Novgorod's schools and public projects.
