and national documents: the Earth Charter, the Millennium Declaration,
Agenda 21, National Strategy of Sustainable Socio-economic development
in Belarus up to year 2020). Forming their own youth position towards
sustainable development concept in general and presented documents in
particular, young people had a chance to reflect on the ideas and strategic
priorities of global development, think of the ways how to implement
actions behind these ideas and define their personal contribution to
creating a sustainable and just Belarussian society.

participating teams, individual participants and consultants will receive
certificates of “OUR Belarus” Internet-game, and will have a chance
