The informational and entertainment project "How to spend the weekend in Polotsk" will be implemented on May 17-18

The information and entertainment project "How to Spend a Weekend in Polotsk" will be implemented for the first time in the ancient Belarusian city on May 17-18, as reported to BELTA by the Polotsk District Executive Committee.

"A young couple from Polotsk, who are about to get married (applications have already been submitted to the registry office), invite a couple of future newlyweds from Orsha to visit them to spend the weekend together in Polotsk. The events and atmosphere of these days will help the young people get to know each other better and spend time beneficially for their future unions," the district executive committee said.

The program for the joint weekend includes a walking tour of Polotsk (monument to the Komsomol members, monument to Francysk Skaryna, monument to Symeon of Polotsk, monument "Ў", Freedom Square, monument to 1812, monument to Euphrosyne of Polotsk, Red Bridge, Borisov Stone near the St. Sophia Cathedral, spring at the foot of the St. Sophia Cathedral), acquaintance with knightly arts (visit to the museum of medieval chivalry and a master class in swordsmanship), a visit to the gym, a romantic dinner, and a photo session.

The project's objectives are to promote family values, psychological preparation for marriage and married life, demonstrate a worthy example of organizing leisure activities for youth in the ancient hospitable city, and attract residents of other regions of the oblast to participate in youth projects.

"Currently, fewer and fewer young people are in a hurry to tie the knot, promoting free relationships. Most often, such situations arise because they are afraid to take responsibility for this serious step and automatically move to a new level in their relationship. The secret to a happy family life lies in clearly defined goals, a formed personality, and mutual feelings," the district executive committee is confident.

The project is organized by the Department of Ideological Work, Culture and Youth Affairs. Partners include the bus depot, taxi service, Vitebsk Regional Olympic Reserve Center for Rowing Sports, Museum of Medieval Chivalry, Style Studio, Wedding Salon, Digital Photo Salon, and Horse Club.
