The challenging social changes caused by the pandemic and special military operation have led to unexpected positive results – people have begun to help more and jumpstarted the development of charitable activities in Russia. However, charity is not just about making donations. Non-profit organizations create trajectories for social development and provide tools to people who are ready to help as well as opportunities to receive help to those who need it so badly. Youth engagement is actively developing in a wide range of areas, including volunteering, educational projects, support for blood and bone marrow donations, a healthy lifestyle, and sports. Discussion topics: - What challenges does Russian charity face today? - What is the government doing to get young people involved in socially significant projects? - What kind of activities does business and the non-profit sector offer to young people? Successful practices for mutual assistance and the difference in approaches - What kind of volunteering resonates with students and young people? Regional and professional preferences
