In the period from 1 to 4 October, Daria Khazhikarova, a 1st year student of the IPRiM Master’s program, chairwoman of the SSIA, became a participant of the District Volunteer Forum of the North Caucasus Federal District “From Word to Deed” in the Republic of Dagestan.

The purpose of this forum is to create an application platform for obtaining and applying knowledge and tools for the development of volunteer organizers at the district and regional levels, involving citizens in volunteer activities.

We discussed how to create projects that the region really needs, shared our ideas and caught insights on the move. From practical pieces to inspirational cases, everyone has found something different. There were no boring lectures here - everything was on the case, Darius shares his impressions.
