The closing ceremony of the event, which was held in the city for the first time, took place in the Penza regional Philharmonic in the evening on Sunday, October 7.

Addressing young people, governor of the Penza region Ivan Belozertsev thanked them for their activity and the desire to make life better, and noted the importance of supporting volunteer initiatives.

"We'll probably create a separate program and allocate funding to support those students who will work during the summer period," the head of the region said.

During the ceremony, Ivan Belozertseva was awarded with an honorary sign "For Active Work in Student Teams".

In addition, a new tradition was established during the event – representatives of Penza student teams transferred the symbolic jacket with a sign of the 7th forum to the district headquarters so that it should be passed to the next organizer of the event.
