Kamchatka region clinched the national contest "Region for Youth" for the third consecutive time.
Kamchatka Krai, a region in Russia, has once again emerged victorious in the nationwide contest "Region for the Young," organised by the Federal Agency for Youth (Rosmolodezh) upon the instruction of President Vladimir Putin. This marks the third time that Kamchatka Krai has won the contest, a testament to their commitment to comprehensive youth policy development.
The "Region for the Young" contest is an integral part of the national project "Youth and Children," designed to foster a thriving environment for the nation's youth. For 2026, Kamchatka Krai has planned a significant initiative - the construction of a modern youth centre in Ust-Kamchatsky District.
In addition to the youth centre, the program in Kamchatka Krai also includes large-scale events with a patriotic focus for young people. The program aims to create conditions for professional, creative, and public self-realization through forums, festivals, educational sessions, and competitions.
The region will receive a federal subsidy of 71.2 million rubles in 2026, which will be utilised primarily for the construction of the modern youth centre in Ust-Kamchatsky District. The subsidy will also finance youth events throughout the region.
Moreover, the program in Kamchatka Krai focuses on enhancing environmental awareness and finding effective models for environmental education. In 2026, Kamchatka Krai will implement a winning program with several initiatives, providing financial support for building youth centres, expanding project activities, developing existing programs, and improving specialists' qualifications in youth policy.
As the details of these initiatives are yet to be publicly detailed or covered in the available sources, it would be necessary to consult official regional government releases or announcements related to the "Region for the Young" contest outcomes closer to or during 2026 for precise information on Kamchatka Krai's initiatives related to their 2026 youth development plans.
The "Region for the Young" contest, part of the national project "Youth and Children," is a key component in promoting education and self-development for the nation's youth. In line with this goal, Kamchatka Krai has planned to construct a modern youth centre in Ust-Kamchatsky District, aiming to provide conditions for professional, creative, and public self-realization through its various programs and events.
