Does everyone have a chance to participate in their activities?
What are the benefits of being a member of youth organizations?
Whatfamous people of your country are active members of youth organizations?
Why are different subcultures attractive for youth?
The life of the young is frequently determined by the adults. It seems that parents will never understand their children. And children, in their turn,shock their parents with their dress, language, behaviour. The existence of subculture which is specific for every generation is a form of protest of the young people against the values of the adults. Belonging to a subculture is often about exploring who you are and what you stand for. All young people need to feel validated and valued. Though it can be challenging for parents, but it isn’t unusual and can be a passing phase.
What is the best way to promote a healthy way of life among young people? Why is it important to stay healthy?
As a parent, you need to encourage healthy habits — including exercise — in your youngsters. Physical activity should become as a routine, a part of their lives, as eating and sleeping.
Educate others. Be a health advocate for people. Help them start doing sports.
Stop saying, start doing. Get involved and stay involved in the process. Do sports yourself.
Lead by an example. Participate in any sports events. Sports such as cycling, swimming, basketball, jogging, walking briskly, cross country skiing, dancing, aerobics, and soccer, played regularly, are not only fun but can promote health.
Support scientific medical research to find out different diseases and treatment for them.
Having a healthy lifestyle is important because it helps a person to control weight, boost energy, improve his mood, combat disease and live long, staying healthy means thinking positively and focusing on gratitude. Having happy people around is the basis of any community.

Let’s talk about education.
What can you tell about the system of education in Belarus?
Education is the main people’s wealth and lots of them consider it the sense of living. They get education from early childhood and learn until their hair is grey. To my mind, education plays an important role in people’s lives, that’s why a great attention is paid to it.
Education in Belarus is free and compulsory from age 6 to 15 and the system is well administered. The academic year begins on the 1st of September and lasts till the end of May. It is divided into 4 terms and has 4 vocation periods: autumn, winter, spring and summer ones. There are two official languages within the education system in Belarus: Russian and Belarusian.
