Sergei Kiriyenko, the First Deputy Head of the Presidential Administration of the Russian Federation, spoke about the new features of the fourth season of the Big Change competition at the outset of the season. The ceremony unfolded on March 28 as part of the First Marathon, held at the Puck ice arena in the Sirius federal district.
Speaking to the audience, he highlighted that 3,000 participants, who had already achieved their dreams by winning the Big Change, gathered in the hall.
“You have become the best of several million. Now you truly believe in yourselves and know for certain: if you dream, believe, know how to fight, and put in the work, nothing is impossible. You can realize your boldest dreams”, Kiriyenko told the participants.
The remarks also extended special gratitude to the mentors of the Great Change, as well as to the 5-7 team, who embarked on the Dream Journey in the new season. He noted the opportunity they would have to travel to study in the southern regions of Russia. Appreciation was also given to those who participated in the Good Letters campaign, where children from across the country sent letters of encouragement to the fighters.
“A new, vivid chapter is beginning in the book of your lives, as the Great Change continues to grow. It became one of the founders of the Russian children’s and youth movement First Movement. This idea belongs to you. It was heard and supported by our President Vladimir Putin. And he is with you”, added Kiriyenko.
It is remembered that the all-Russian competition Big Change is the flagship project of the Russian children’s and youth movement Movement One. The project is organized in collaboration with Rosmolodezh, the Federal Agency for Youth Affairs. The competition is part of the presidential platform Russia – the Land of Opportunities, and it proceeds with the support of the Ministry of Education of the Russian Federation.
