The Festival Youth and Leisure Center hosted the conference "The Council of Municipalities of St. Petersburg: 20 Years in Action. Best Practices and Results of the Year." Students from the Institute of Industrial Management, Economics, and Trade at SPbPU helped organize the event. As part of the institute's long-standing collaboration with the Council of Municipalities of St. Petersburg, they volunteered, including residents of the student association "Public Administration Laboratory."
The conference brought together the leaders and deputies of St. Petersburg's inner-city municipalities and served as an important platform for reviewing the year's work and sharing successful local government practices. The event focused on urban planning and improvement, as well as the implementation of socially significant projects. Municipalities that achieved outstanding results in various areas also received awards.
Students from the Institute of Mechanics, Economics, and Telecommunications ensured the smooth running of the conference, assisting with guest registration, accompanying participants, and conducting organizational activities. For future public administration specialists, participation in this event provided valuable practical experience and an opportunity to gain insight into the workings of local government.
Anton Zubarev, a first-year student in the Public and Municipal Administration program and a graduate of the Smolny School career guidance project, shared his impressions: "The conference demonstrated the importance of teamwork. I was impressed by how all the city's municipalities unite to share experiences and solve common problems. As a future manager, I understand that this approach is key to effectiveness. And it's great that we, IPMEIT students, were able to be part of this event."
The Public Administration Laboratory and the Council of Municipalities have been collaborating for a long time. Council Chairman Vsevolod Belikov Honorary Resident of the Laboratory, and we plan to continue working together,” noted the head of the LPU, Maxim Konoplev.
Ksenia Shilina, a first-year student majoring in Public and Municipal Administration and a resident of the LPU, shared her impressions: "The conference was unforgettable, as it allowed us to see the work of the Council of Municipalities of St. Petersburg from the inside and learn about completed and future projects. We also had the opportunity to meet many interesting people in person."
This collaboration will continue. This month, Polytechnic students will participate in organizing the Congress of the Council of Municipalities of St. Petersburg, strengthening the existing partnership and opening up new opportunities for practical interaction between students and the local government system.
