Russian Veterans Gain New Skills Through Patriotic Education Program
A Russian university has opened its third intake for a professional development program aimed at veterans of the special military operation and their families. The initiative focuses on social reintegration through patriotic education, with 95 new participants joining this cohort. Since its launch, the course has already produced over 200 graduates.
The two-day intensive program combines motivational sessions, public speaking training, and project design workshops. Demand remains strong, with applications regularly outstripping available places by nearly double.
The latest cohort began with a motivational meeting featuring Alexander Palyashchy, a Hero of the Russian Federation. His involvement highlights the program's emphasis on real-life experiences, which organisers say make lectures far more impactful than traditional teaching methods.
Participants take part in several structured modules. One covers model lectures on themes like Russia's geopolitical stance and support systems for veterans, delivered by instructors from the Presidential Academy and other institutions. Another module offers master classes on life strategies, public speaking, and patriotic education techniques, led by experienced professionals.
A key feature is a foresight session where attendees design their own patriotic youth projects. The course also teaches fundamentals of public speaking, helping veterans and their families engage audiences more effectively. No specific regions or federal districts involved in the program have been publicly disclosed as of February 2026.
Given the high demand and rapid uptake, the university plans to expand the initiative further. Each intake builds on the previous one, refining the approach based on participant feedback and outcomes.
The program continues to grow, with over 200 graduates already trained in public speaking and patriotic education. Its structured format and reliance on veteran-led sessions have driven its popularity, leading to consistent oversubscription. Expansion plans are now underway to accommodate more participants in future intakes.
