Sixth-Graders Revive Indigenous Cultures Through Award-Winning Project
A group of sixth-graders from School No. 16 in Komsomolsk-on-Amur has reached the national finals of the I Am a Citizen of Russia contest. Their project, Guardians of the Amur Region, focuses on the cultures of indigenous peoples in the Russian Far East. The students’ work has already earned them first place at the regional level.
The project began under the guidance of Maria Khromova, the school’s director for education and outreach. The students researched eight indigenous groups from Khabarovsk Krai, exploring their daily lives, traditions, and traditional foods. Along the way, they discovered that many of their peers knew little about the Nanai people’s culture.
To share their findings, the team expanded the school’s hallway museum. They created an interactive catalog with QR codes, allowing visitors to access detailed materials about each group. Their efforts not only deepened their own understanding of the region’s diversity but also made them proud of their homeland.
The project’s success at the regional stage has secured the students a spot in the national finals. Their interactive catalog remains available in the school museum, offering a lasting resource for learning about indigenous cultures. The work has also strengthened their connection to the heritage of the Amur region.
