The event is organized by the regional branch of the Belarusian Party "Belaya Rus" in cooperation with the Institute for Advanced Training of the university.
According to Dmitry Demidov, Chairman of the Regional Council of Deputies, Chairman of the regional organization of the RPOO "Belaya Rus", the "Party School" will become a platform for training, communication, and discussion of current issues of political construction in modern conditions. He noted that in light of current political events in the world, the initiative is aimed at preparing activists for the upcoming 2025 election campaign, within which the elections of the President of the Republic of Belarus will be held.
– It is extremely important to bring together activists of public associations and the party to discuss the formation of our country's political system. This will allow concerned citizens interested in the constructive development of Belarus to unite their efforts to create a strong and independent state, — he emphasized.
The head of the region's parliamentary corps also noted that the "Party School" will discuss current challenges facing the country and its political system. Classes will be conducted by experts with the necessary knowledge, as well as activists whose ideas and opinions are of great importance for shaping the political discourse.
– Only through the exchange of opinions can we find suitable methods of political construction that correspond to our situation and the needs of society, — Dmitry Demidov added.
The Chairman of the Council of Deputies also recalled the recent amendments to the Constitution and the creation of the All-Belarusian People's Congress, which were important steps in the development of the country's political system.
– We must convey these changes to the active part of civil society and together determine what kind of political system structure we want to build, based on the will of the people and the principles of justice, — concluded Dmitry Demidov.
