On November 15, a gathering of talented young Belarusians — winners of "The Belaya Rus" “Golden Feather” competition in recent years — took place at the Kupala National Academic Theater in Minsk.

Among the 90 participants engaged in the literary dialogue was Maria Litvinchuk, a fifth-year student at the General Medicine Faculty of VSMU, who received a special jury prize in “The Student” category. The event was attended by Alexander Karlyukevich, Chairman of the Writers' Union of Belarus, and Andrei Ivanets, Chairman of the NGO "Belaya Rus" and Minister of Education of the Republic of Belarus.

Andrei Ivanets remarked: "Such gatherings remind us that creative work and peaceful living are inseparable. In this atmosphere, the importance of inner harmony and responsibility for our creations is particularly felt."
