German-Russian Exchange for Students of the Faculty of Management

From March 27 – 28, 2014, a variety of activities took place at the Faculty of Management as part of the Russian-German student exchange ‘Green City – from Ecoactivism to Change’.

The German-Russian youth exchange ‘Green City – from Ecoactivism to Change’ is a platform for developing an active civic stance and project culture in ecology among young people from Perm and Berlin, and the HSE campus in Perm has become one of the key centres of this project. As part of the initiative, young people were able to participate in educational seminars and implement their own eco-projects.

Officially speaking, the ‘Green City – from Ecoactivism to Change’ exchange is an ecological cultural and educational multilingual project of long-term cooperation, which brings  into practice the Russian state’s policy in terms of developing international ecological cooperation, one of the principles of the ‘Principles of state policy in ecological development of the Russian Federation for the period up to 2030’.

The German-Russian youth exchange aims to promote activities in education, environmental protection and support of socially important youth initiatives, including supporting young people’s civic participation in transforming the urban environment in the context of ecological factors, and developing long-term German-Russian youth exchange and cooperation.

The joint activities at the Faculty of Management included an open lecture for the project participants on the experience of implementation of cultural interventions in an urban environment, as well as classes where international exchange participants prepared their projects.
