MSUPE Trusted Students Team Prepares an Inclusive Media Project for the Final of the "Professional Tomorrow" Competition

MSUPE students - participants of the "Trusted Students" association - have successfully advanced to the in-person stage of the IX All-Russian Network Competition of Inclusive Student Projects "Professional Tomorrow".

The Trusted Students team, consisting of Anna Zhuravleva (Faculty of Educational Psychology), Daria Shibanova (Faculty of Information Technologies), and Sergey Musanov (Faculty of Distance Learning), presented a media project to the Competition - "Offline by Sight, Online by Life." The project is a series of video podcasts created by an inclusive team of students. The main characters are blind and visually impaired people, MSUPE students, who talk about their studies, daily life, leisure, technologies, and interaction with society. The content shows that people with visual impairments are just like everyone else: they study, work, achieve heights, laugh, and dream.

The project's goal is to raise young people's awareness of the capabilities of people with visual disabilities, reduce stereotypical perceptions, and promote the values of an inclusive society through the creation and publication by an inclusive team of students of a series of accessible video podcasts featuring blind and visually impaired people.

The team's curator is Nastasya Vadimovna Kirsanova, psychologist at the RUMC MSUPE.

The in-person stage of the competition (the final) will take place at the State University of Management from November 10 to 12, where our students will present their project to the expert jury.

We congratulate the team on advancing to the in-person stage and wish them a successful defense of their project!
