A presentation of the all-Russian student project "Your Move" was held at PSU as part of its regional tour.

The project aims to create a large-scale community of young people sharing a common goal – to change the world for the better. It fosters a favorable environment for the generation and development of projects and initiatives by active youth. Participants gain practical skills, find like-minded people, and create projects.

University students learned about a wide range of opportunities:

5 competitive tracks;

the "Your Move, Chief!" student leader competition;
