Minsk – The Youth Capital of Belarus 2026: two days that set a new rhythm

On March 26–27, 2026, Minsk officially received the status of the Youth Capital of Belarus, bringing together more than a thousand active participants from across the country.

Among the delegates were students and young scientists from Vitebsk State Medical University, who took part in educational sessions, meetings with the country's leadership, and final events. Their participation demonstrated that the youth movement unites future professionals of various fields into a single team.

The project was launched at the Youth House, a commemorative capsule was laid in the Youth Square, and the symbol of the capital was unveiled, emphasizing the connection between generations.

The first day featured seven educational sessions held at different venues across the city—covering topics from family values and information security to career starts and volunteerism—and concluded with a large-scale show, "In the Rhythm of the Capital."

The second day began with a "Folk Charge" at Dynamo Stadium. The key events included open dialogues between participants and prominent figures such as Chairman of the Minsk City Executive Committee Vladimir Kukharev, Chairman of the House of Representatives Igor Sergeenko, and Chairman of the Council of the Republic Natalia Kochanova. These conversations focused on youth self-realization, legislative activity, and fostering an active civic stance.

The project concluded at the Minsk City Palace of Culture, where regional representatives showcased their initiatives, and the winners of the youth policy competition received awards.
