and business understandings "Stairs to Success 2005",
which was organized due to the initiative of the NGO "Youth
Entrepreneurship Support and Development Centre" was held in
Minsk, April, 17-19.
The aims of the festival: to give the chance for the youth to apply
theoretical knowledge in the sphere of economy and business understandings
in practice, in conditions, which are close to reality and also
to popularize the civilized business, the values of market economy
and private initiative.
20 teams (100 persons) which consisted of 5 persons took part in
the economic festival "Stairs to Success 2005". This year
the festival was aspired to be an international one, because not
only students from Belarus but also from Estonia and Ukraine took
part in it.
During the festival the participants had to show their skills of
taking economically based decisions quickly in the role of managers
of firms in the process of playing the business-game "Effective
production". The surprise of the festival was the participation
of foreign teachers in its work who was invited to Minsk by Belarussian
State University and took part in the program NCEE. The teachers
prepared questions for students and could compare the answers of
Belarussian students with their ones. The Belarussian students coped
with the task successfully.
The contest "Economic Conceptions" was very interesting
for guests. It was a performance of the home task which was worked
out in form of an amazing story with illustration.
The Committee of Education awarded the Diplomas to the winners,
IFC prepared special prizes for the winners and the best advertising
ideas were appreciated at their true value by representatives from
such companies as "Malvina", "Aquatriple" and
"Stilmark". The best works will be published in the collected
works.
