Students of Vitebsk Gymnasium No. 3 became winners of the republican competition "Fresh Wind" in the nomination "Best School Blog"
In the XXI republican competition of children's media "Fresh Wind", students of the 11th "B" grade of Gymnasium No. 3 of Vitebsk named after A.S. Pushkin, Talipskaya Irina, Tratsyevsky Timofey, and Shlyk Anastasia became winners in the nomination "Best School Blog". The team of young journalists was awarded a 1st degree diploma.
The main requirements for the competitive works in this nomination were: meaningfulness and informational content, relevance, variety of genres, originality of topic disclosure, and author's position. The visual design of the publication, systematic arrangement of publications, and feedback with the audience (conducting surveys, campaigns, contests) were also evaluated.
By participating in the "Fresh Wind" competition, young journalists from the Vitebsk gymnasium successfully passed all stages: district, city, and regional. The final stage of the competition was held at the NDC "Zubronok".
- During the "Press-Info" session, we developed our Telegram channel, where we shared news about events in Zubronok, and created a radio program where we discussed interesting topics. In addition, we published a magazine that collected articles, photos, and notes about our adventures in the camp. We shot a music video that showed how we spend time together, and tried ourselves as scriptwriters, operators, and editors. It was a great experience. The "Press-Info" session was very intense and interesting, and I am proud that I was able to participate in the "Fresh Wind" competition. In my opinion, working in a team is easier and more interesting. When we combine our efforts, everyone can contribute their ideas and experience. This helps to find more creative solutions and learn from each other. I like discussing tasks with the guys, sharing opinions, and getting feedback. Moreover, in a team, you can share responsibility, which makes the work less stressful, - said Irina Talipskaya.
Timofey Tratsyevskiy believes that the experience of holding the final stage of the competition within the "Press-Info" session is directly related to journalism. Thanks to participating in the competition, he learned to work with an audience and react quickly to situations. All of this is important for a journalist who must not only write texts but also be able to conduct interviews, ask questions, and convey information. Timofey is confident that he was very lucky with the team at the NDC "Zubronok". The guys turned out to be creative, and working together was not just easy, but truly interesting. This made him want to get even more involved in the process and come up with something new.
At the solemn ceremony of summing up the results of the final stage of the republican competition "Svezhiy Veter" and awarding the 1st degree diploma in the nomination "Best School Blog", Anastasia Shlyk shared her joy.
- We have come a long way. And we are returning to our native Vitebsk region with a victory! Thanks to the rich program of the "Svezhiy Veter" competition, we have acquired new knowledge and developed skills in journalistic activities. I want to express my gratitude to my parents, as well as to the principal of Gymnasium No. 3 of Vitebsk, Elena Matveeva, the head of the "Young Journalist" club, Olga Bogoslovskaya, the director of the NDC "Zubronok", Tatiana Osmolovskaya, and the session curator, Vladimir Polishchuk. Their support, attention, and belief in us made our first steps in journalism truly unforgettable.
