Sergey Kiriyenko in the Znaniya studio: no need to imitate or copy anyone, you need to learn 
First Deputy Head of the Presidential Administration of Russia Of the Supervisory Board of the Russian Society “Knowledge” Sergei Kiriyenko met with the finalists of the All-Russian competition “Big Change”. The meeting took place within the framework of the development marathon “Knowledge. Flexible Skills “, which the Russian Society” Knowledge “will organize at the International Children's Center” Artek “on November 9-13.
“It seems to me that the main thing when you meet within the framework of the“ Big Change ”or within the framework of lectures and meetings of the Knowledge Society with a variety of people is to ask yourself the question: if he managed, why can't I. An Olympic champion, a successful scientist, governor or minister, if he tells you honestly, will tell you that he was wrong, and he did not succeed, that at some point he had an internal question: probably, I cannot, probably , I am not capable, maybe I can give it all up. Someone throws, and someone rises and moves on. And this does not mean that you should do as he did. But you need to find in this an example of how to cope, how not to be afraid. This, perhaps, is the most important lesson that the meetings of the Knowledge Society give, “said Sergei Kiriyenko.
He also stressed that” there is no need to imitate and copy anyone, but to learn from the examples of others required. “
“We proceed from the premise that every person is talented – there are no people who do not have talents. It's just that sometimes this talent is difficult to find, and the goal of Big Change is to try yourself in very different directions. Not everyone can win, but perhaps the most important thing is that everyone will win. You all have already won because you have tried. You already got a bunch of friends, you got experience, feedback. They will certainly tell you what you lacked, what you should learn, what you should go with your mentor, “- commented on the main tasks of the competition Sergei Kiriyenko.
Within the framework of an open dialogue in the studio of the Russian society “Knowledge”, the finalists of the “Big Change” had the opportunity to ask questions to the speaker, as well as tell about the projects they had developed. Among them are ideas on how to make thermal power plants more environmentally friendly, minimize cyberbullying and conflict situations in schools in general, create an art book based on the competition, etc.
“If you are up to something new, then before making a decision on replication to all, to all schools, you should definitely try. A pilot or experiment is required. Because until then, until you start doing, you will never understand what pitfalls will creep out. It seems to me that the most correct story is to take and implement this project in at least one school, work with it, for example, for a year, and then it will become clear that it works, that it doesn’t work, ”Sergei Kirienko advised those present.
The Marathon of the Russian Society “Knowledge” in Artek is an opportunity for the finalists of the competition to communicate with the country's top experts: state and public figures, representatives of business, science, culture and sports. In addition, Znanie organizes on-site trainings and practical sessions on the development of flexible skills from recognized coaches, psychologists and business school teachers.
