Youth from Vitebsk and Smolensk regions will embark on a water trip along the Western Dvina

It is held annually with the aim of patriotic education of youth, health improvement, formation of safe life activity experience, promotion of active recreation and fostering ecological culture. As reported by the regional committee of the BRSM, traditionally, working youth from enterprises and organizations of the Vitebsk region participate in the expedition. However, a delegation from the Smolensk region of Russia will join our guys for the first time.

These are representatives of the Russian Youth Union and the autonomous non-profit organization "Center for Psychological, Pedagogical and Social Assistance to Children and Families 'For the Future'", with which the Vitebsk Regional Organization of the BRSM has signed a cooperation agreement. In total, about 30 people will take part in the expedition.

The start will be given in Vitebsk. On the first day, the final point of the route will be the village of Yakubovo, Vitebsk district. Here, participants will set up tents for the night. In addition, competitions in volleyball, darts, and an intellectual game will be held on the banks of the Dvina River.

On the second day, participants will have to swim to the village of Bokishevo. Among the competitions are an obstacle course on a section of the river, a humorous obstacle course, as well as the entertainment program "Neptune's Meeting" and initiation into "water tourists"! On the third day, the youth will arrive in Beshenkovichi.

The BRSM regional committee notes that the expedition of Vitebsk and Smolensk youth is an occasion to remember common pages of history together, to swim through the places of military glory of their grandfathers, who won the Victory together.
