Russia and Belarus Foster Youth Collaboration Through New Media Hub and Engineering School

The Union State's youth are actively involved in joint scientific and project activities aimed at strengthening economic, cultural, and academic ties between Russia and Belarus. Last year, the Pskov region proposed establishing a media hub at Pskov State University (PskovSU) to promote the values of the Union State among young people. This hub comprises four modules: a unified center for strategic communications, a youth media laboratory, a center for sociological research, and a communication platform called "Dialogue". PskovSU serves as a leader in Russian-Belarusian collaboration in higher education, with a focus on developing a cutting-edge engineering school specializing in hybrid technologies for machine building within the Union State. This collaboration extends to the Belarusian National Technical University (BNTU), fostering the training of engineer-inventors. This initiative demonstrates a commitment to fostering future generations of innovators and strengthening the bonds between Russia and Belarus.
