Have you ever thought about what it means to “live”? This is the question that the participants of the second season of the educational program “Live and Create in Russia” of the All-Russian student project “Your Move” were asked to reflect on. Among them was RUDN student Anastasia Bogoyavlenskaya.
The goal of the program "Live and Create in Russia" is to prepare leaders of the student community, conductors of the meanings of youth policy. It is designed for a year and includes three modules: "I live", "I create", "I live and create in Russia", as well as intermodular work.
Notes of a young doctor
To become a participant, students had to write an essay and receive a letter of recommendation from either a program graduate or the management of the educational institution. Anastasia successfully coped with the selection stage and immersed herself in the work. The first module took place in Ivanovo in the spring and brought together students from universities in the Central and Northwestern Federal Districts. In addition to the educational part, the students had a variety of activities, including a hike to the "Cape of Love" in the village of Reshma near the Volga.
“I learned about the program from my academic supervisor, Elena Valeryevna Kaverina. At first, to be honest, I didn’t fully understand what the program was about. But I was very interested to see and learn what youth policy is (I knew before, but I studied this issue myself, so I wanted to learn from professionals), and how to work in this area. During the first block of the program, we discussed the topic: “What does it mean for us to “live”? How do we feel it?” We discussed the importance of reflection and generally learned how to do it correctly. We played a game on values, and I learned that my values are not what I thought they were. Not that they are terrible, I just thought that my main value is family, but it turned out that they are not. This is youth, because it is at this time that your own family appears, useful contacts, professional growth and much more,” — Anastasia Bogoyavlenskaya, a student of the RUDN Medical Institute (General Medicine major, 5th year).
The girl also recalls that on the first day of the program she came across a question on a card: “What book should every student read?”
"I couldn't answer right away, I was confused. After that, I thought about it all night and realized: definitely "Notes of a Young Doctor" by Mikhail Bulgakov. Why? Because they describe the experiences of not just a novice doctor, but a young specialist who has just graduated from university and is immersing himself in the profession. These stories contain his fears, doubts, thoughts, and it seems to me that any novice specialist faces something similar. This book will help you understand: this happens to everyone, and it's normal," – Anastasia Bogoyavlenskaya.
Non-random meetings
According to the student, during the program she met more than 50 people in 4 days. And some of them were definitely not random.
"On the last day of the module, I was sitting at breakfast with a girl who was studying to be a lawyer but dreamed of trying herself in medicine. I remembered a table with data on the composition of the detachments to the virgin lands, where there were guys from the law faculty who decided to go work as part of a medical detachment in the registry. And I told her about it. My interlocutor was delighted and said: "How interesting that the necessary information comes exactly when it is most needed." This impressed me greatly!" – Anastasia Bogoyavlenskaya.
Communication with famous athletes and traveler Oleg Volynkin was also useful and helped the girl understand several important things about herself.
"Meeting with Alexandra Patskevich (2020 Olympic synchronized swimming champion), where she talked about her sports career, motivated me to return to sports. In the past, I was a professional rhythmic gymnast, and was also on the RUDN national fitness aerobics team. But now I plan to go into trap shooting. As for the meeting with Oleg Viktorovich, his exciting stories about traveling to different cities of Russia helped me realize that another important value for me is education. Because the broader our horizons, the more interesting it is with us. In addition, I was delighted with how the traveler spoke reverently and tenderly about his wife, my soul felt so warm! And Alexandra, when the guys asked what values are most important to her, answered: "The main thing is to love: your business, people, loved ones …", – Anastasia Bogoyavlenskaya.
Great opportunities
Now Anastasia is actively participating in the second module of the "I Create" program in Kemerovo. It is aimed at creative activity and teaching young people how to interact with different communities. The final module will take place in December, and the main thing there will be finding an answer to the question: "How to live and create in Russia?"
"I have actually already learned a lot from the program: I started doing fitness, ran my first 4 km race at the New Media Festival, began to value my personal space and time more, began to spend more time with loved ones and, in general, began to develop not only professionally, but also personally. As a doctor, I found participation in the second module especially useful. It was here that I finally understood the meaning of the word "creation", which is extremely important for me as a future healthcare specialist. And as a student, I met a huge number of cool guys – heads of student organizations from all over Russia. This opens up great opportunities for me both for project activities and for simple friendship," – Anastasia Bogoyavlenskaya.
The All-Russian student project "Your Move" is part of the series of projects of the presidential platform "Russia – the Land of Opportunities" and is implemented with the support of the Federal Agency for Youth Affairs (Rosmolodezh), the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation.
