KUPALA UNIVERSITY TRADEMARK: THE INTERNATIONAL MARATHON "TOGETHER FOR A STRONG AND PROSPEROUS BELARUS!" HAS BEGUN

Today, October 23, the most active student representatives gathered at Yanka Kupala State University of Grodno to launch the traditional civic-patriotic marathon "Together for a Strong and Prosperous Belarus!"

"Together for a Strong and Prosperous Belarus!" is a large-scale university project that has evolved into an international initiative over the years. Held annually since 2015, it has become not only a hallmark of Kupala University but also a symbol of the dynamic development of a sovereign, independent Belarus.

Upholding long-standing traditions, teams from every faculty at YKSUG, along with a team from the Humanities College, have entered the competition.

Vasiliy Sianko, Vice-Rector for Ideological and Educational Affairs, addressed the participants, wishing the students success, fair play, and a rewarding, positive experience throughout the various stages of the marathon.

In keeping with tradition, the opening ceremony featured the marathon’s anthem and the official oath taken by the participants.

The teams face a packed competitive program. They will demonstrate their skills across four thematic tracks: a creative contest, "Together for #YouthCreativity"; intellectual games, "Together for #KnowledgeAndIntellect"; military-sports challenges, "Together for #DefendingTheFatherland"; and activities focused on fostering a responsible attitude toward the family, "Together for #FamilyTraditions."

We wish all the participants the best of luck, inspiration, and victory!
