A training seminar for public assistants of the Ombudsman for Human Rights in the Republic of Tatarstan was held today at the Regional Management Centre of the Republic of Tatarstan. The main topics of our seminar were the development of youth policy in Tatarstan, the upcoming elections to the State Council of the Republic of Tatarstan, as well as the analysis of the work of the Public Assistants of the Commissioner for the past six months. In the context of new challenges associated with changes in the global world, modernisation of the goals of socio-economic development of the country, the protection of the rights and legitimate interests of young people acquires special significance. One of the most important upcoming political events of our republic, which will take place on 8 September 2024, is the election of deputies to the State Council of the Republic of Tatarstan.

At the end of the seminar, the Ombudsman’s public assistants visited the Doverie Centre for Psychological and Pedagogical Assistance to Children and Youth. The centre left extremely positive impressions, as here everyone can get psychological help, and people from 14 to 35 years old – absolutely free of charge! There are also various family-building activities here, and anyone can just come and play board games and just relax! The seminar was rich and interesting, and everyone who attended really learnt something new!
