The main idea of the project is to organize tourist trip through Belarus in youth-friendly 2.0 format. That means introduction of remarkable pieces of historical and cultural heritage through cultural education and interactive part. The project is aimed on school students who are to pass exams or tests on history of Belarus, as well, as on freshmen students, who are keen on history of motherland.
Smorgon region is going to be an implementation venue for the project, because a lot of historical memorials are concentrated in the area: Krevo Caslte, St. Michael’s Chursch in Smorgon, museum in manor of Michal Kleofas Oginsky in Zalesye and museum in manor of Francisk Bogushewich in Kushliany. Moreover, those objects belong to different historical periods, but they are linked in one route by the idea of history reception, consistency of development of intellectual and spiritual potential of our ancestors, which in sum allows conducting a tour through space and time.
The students themselves developed touristic route, prepared leaflets and other information materials. Every checkpoint on the route is not an excursion, but also quests, games and fun activities to entertain introduction into history.
Project is interdisciplinary because it involves students of different specialties: Sociology, Tourism and Hospitality, Linguistic Support of Intercultural Communications.
Graduates proposed their project to various touristic companies, including Regional Tourism Center of YKSUG. Dean of the Faculty proposed students to enter Master’s studies and continue work on their project with help of the faculty and university.

Participants of the Roma Fashion Week could appreciate not only the original costumes, but also the author's decor, stylish headdresses and bags. It should be noted that for the first time this collection Omila presented at the fashion festival "Grodno Fashion Show" in March.
- The collection is made in the trends "Spring - Summer 2017" and is inspired by ethnic motives and militaristic theme. The clothes of officers and soldiers of the Indian army inspired me to create looks, - said Omila. - When sewing the collection, I used mainly Indian and Italian fabrics. Here red, golden and dark colors predominate, as well as khaki.
Following the results of the Roman Fashion Forum, the young designer received a Certificate of Participation and a number of invitations to present his collection at Hungary Fashion Week in Hungary, Fashion Week in the United Arab Emirates (Dubai), India, Poland and Kazakhstan.
