The 20th season of the “Territory of Initiative Youth ‘Biryusa'” forum has started in Krasnoyarsk Krai. The first session – “Physical Culture and Sports” of the “Rosmolodezh.Forums” platform – will be held from June 17 to 21 and unites over 300 participants from Russia and abroad. The session will become a key event of the youth educational center “Sportex”, a project of Rosmolodezh. The event takes place within the framework of the national project “Youth and Children.”
A welcoming address to the participants and organizers of the forum was sent by the President of Russia Vladimir Putin. At the opening ceremony, it was read aloud by the governor of the Krasnoyarsk Territory, Mikhail Kotyukov.
“For the twentieth time, the forum unites creative, caring young men and women in the Krasnoyarsk region, who sincerely strive with their creative work, in-demand ideas, and initiatives to bring benefit to their native towns and villages, and the entire country. This year, numerous participants once again anticipate substantive discussions and round tables, as well as the opportunity to meet well-known experts, politicians, and public and government figures.””Such a rich program provides forum participants with excellent opportunities for professional growth, personal development, exchange of accumulated experience, and best practices,” noted in the address of the President of Russia.
During the existence of TIM “Biryusa,” it has united more than 60 thousand participants. In 2026, the forum will include 10 thematic shifts.
At the “Biryusa” forum of the national project “Youth and Children,” participants will work on proposals for the development of the sports movement in the country. I note that the formation of physical culture among citizens, accessibility of infrastructure, and improvement of the system for sports training of children and youth are among the priority tasks designated by our President Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin. Symbolically, these topics will be discussed specifically in the Krasnoyarsk Territory, where in autumn the forum “Russia – a Sporting Power” will be held.”I am confident that these events will complement each other and become drivers for implementing advanced youth ideas for the development of domestic and global sports,” said Dmitry Chernyshenko, Deputy Prime Minister of the Government of Russia.
The educational program of the shift includes motivational discussions, open dialogues with famous athletes, thematic lectures. In the business game, participants will analyze how to attract business resources to student sports clubs. And in practical classes – how to make sports events interesting for children and young people. The sports program includes warm-ups with famous athletes, practical sessions on national sports, passing GTO standards, competitions in SUP polo on Biryusinsky Bay, and the “Biryusinskaya Spartakiad,” which unites 7 sports disciplines.
More than 4 thousand applications were submitted for the All-Russian shift “Physical Culture and Sports” from 88 regions of the country. This is the first of 10 sessions of the “Territory of Initiative Youth” this year. Its participants were activists and leaders of the projects of the Association of Student Sports Clubs of Russia, young specialists in the field of physical culture and sports, coaches of sports clubs, representatives of sports communities, organizers of sports events, as well as activists of the “First Movement.” Together they discuss the development of sports and a healthy lifestyle among young people, and the promotion of sports initiatives.The guys also meet with mentors and sports legends: multiple champion Sergey Fyodorovtsev, Russian alpine skier Alexey Bugayev, footballer Ruslan Pimenov, and other athletes,” said the youth leader Grigory Gurov.
Traditionally, within the framework of the forum, the competition “Rejuvenation.Grants” will be held. Participants will be able to refine their initiatives together with experts and present projects for the competition. The authors of the best initiatives will receive grant support of up to 1 million rubles for the implementation of their ideas.
