The Polytechnic University celebrated the grand opening of a new space—the media lab of the SPbPU Student Media Center "Polymer." The students recently won a grant to implement the project "Multi-Level Mentoring System 'Community Trajectory'"—a total of 2.8 million rubles (2.3 million rubles from the grant and 500,000 rubles from co-financing). Using the allocated funds, student activists renovated the space, which is used for working on media projects. The equipped space will allow them to create information products that will shape the image of the Polytechnic University.
Over the course of two years, student activists and student leaders who are passionate about revealing the Polytechnic University in a new light through the lens of media are planned to be involved in the implementation of various projects.
The opening ceremony was attended by Maxim Pasholikov, Vice-Rector for Information, Youth Policy, and Security; Marianna Dyakova, Head of the Public Relations Department; and Zlatoslava Pod'yanova, Head of the St. Petersburg student media outlet "Campus on the Neva."
Tatyana Panuriy, editor-in-chief of the Polimer media center, discussed the center's work and plans, including columns published with the support of Rosmolodezh, projects implemented jointly with the Public Relations Department, and the media center's future direction.
The platform is designed to implement projects aimed at revealing the life of the Polytechnic University and its students. Currently, 33 posts have been published under the Rosmolodezh hashtag in the VKontakte group and 25 posts in the media center's Telegram channel. Posts related to the renovation and equipment of the Medialab facility are also planned.
The team chose a specific shade of gray for the walls, making them ideal as a backdrop for filming. The space is equipped with individual workstations and video recording areas.
In working with the new space, students will implement a collaborative approach: activists from the media center and other Polytechnic associations will be involved in each project from start to finish. This includes discussing the necessary resource support (script, filming, editing, or full production), determining the project's positioning (joint or supported), defining roles, implementation, and more.
The students hope that the renovated space and its capabilities will make the process of creating student content about the Polytechnic significantly easier and more effective.
