On November 12, the State University of Management held its third annual traditional Don Youth Forum in Moscow, "Don Land — Your Future." Around 200 people from the Rostov Region, who had enrolled in or were pursuing higher education in the capital, gathered at the First Management University to learn firsthand about the Don region's prospects for young people, employment opportunities, networking opportunities, and experience sharing.
At the opening of the meeting, not only the Russian anthem but also the Rostov Region anthem was played, which was especially gratifying for those gathered. After all, those who have lived outside their home region for several years hadn't heard it in a formal setting for a long time. The meeting was opened by Vladimir Stroyev, Rector of the State University of Management, who noted that he had just passed through Rostov-on-Don yesterday, returning from a business trip to new regions (link), and was pleased to see residents of Rostov within the walls of the First Management Center.
"This is our third time holding the forum. And I'm glad that the Rostov Community 'Donskaya Stanitsa' has taken the initiative to bring together young people who have come from the Rostov region to Moscow and share the opportunities their home region offers. Our university has many staff members and famous alumni from the Don region. This is quite telling for today's discussion: these young people studied in Moscow and returned to the region, where they became governors, headed large enterprises, started their own businesses, and so on," said the rector of the State University of Management.
On behalf of the residents of the Rostov region and the deputy corps of the Don region, the meeting participants were welcomed by Alexander Ishchenko, Chairman of the Legislative Assembly of the Rostov region.
"Today's forum, with its large gathering of young people, is a wonderful tradition that I hope will continue for many years to come. We want young people to draw on the historical heritage of the Don region as they enter adulthood, as it is a distinct competitive advantage. I wish you to retain a strong connection to the Don region in your hearts, and to use the knowledge and skills you've acquired for the benefit of both your homeland and your homeland," concluded Alexander Ishchenko.
The welcoming address on behalf of the Governor of the Rostov Region was read by his deputy, Artem Khokhlov.
"The forum brought together young people from the Don region who are yet to make their greatest discoveries, writing their names in the history of their small homeland and the entire country. Your potential, energy, and creative thinking are crucial for the region's development. We hope that you will apply the knowledge and experience you gained in Moscow for the benefit of your native land. May the 'Don Land – Your Future' forum become an effective platform for generating initiatives, exchanging ideas, and finding like-minded people," the message stated.
In addition, State Duma Deputy Larisa Tutova, Deputy Head of the Federal Agency for Youth Affairs Yuri Leskin, Hero of the Russian Federation, Major General, Chairman of the Council of the Regional Public Organization "Rostov Fellowship "Donskaya Stanitsa" Sergei Lipovoy, and Advisor to the Mayor of Moscow, Vice President of the All-Russian Public Organization "Russian Municipal Academy", Professor Vladimir Zotov addressed the audience.
Larisa Tutova presented letters of gratitude for their support of the regional association's initiatives and assistance in preparing the forum to representatives of partner organizations: Alexander Dolganov, Deputy Chairman of the Board of CENTER-INVEST Bank, and Denis Izmestyev, General Director of Dobra LLC.
The second section of the forum featured presentations from representatives of the Don region's largest businesses and organizations. Following this, a plenary session on "Young Professionals—the Core of the Region's Development" took place. Representatives from government and business agencies presented opportunities already created to attract young people to the Rostov Region and discussed prospects for further development.
In addition, a presentation of projects by the Rostov Community "Donskaya Stanitsa" was held, aimed at a wide range of areas of public life.
At the end of the meeting, the participants gathered for a group photo and exchanged contact information for future interactions.
