Public mass events. Mass event - what is it? Organization instructions. Security measures by the organizers

Under mass events it is necessary to understand the totality of actions or phenomena of social life with the participation of a large number of citizens, carried out in order to satisfy the political, spiritual, physical and other needs of citizens, which are a form of realization of their rights and freedoms, as well as a form of social communication between people and a way of developing a unity of personality attitudes, collective and society as a whole.

Thus, based on the definition of the concept of "mass event", three main features can be distinguished:

A large number of people;

Organization of actions;

Having a goal.

All this distinguishes mass events from other cases of large crowds, for example, in markets, train stations, beaches, etc.

Conventionally, all mass events can be divided according to the following criteria: : by content and direction, significance, frequency of holding, method of occurrence, possibility of participation.

1. Socio-political(demonstrations, rallies, street processions, manifestations, elections of the President and deputies, higher and local authorities, congresses, conferences, etc.). This type of event is characterized by a certain composition of participants, a high level of organization of the event, and a commonality of behavioral motives.

Federal Law of June 19, 2004 No. 54-FZ "On meetings, rallies, demonstrations, marches and pickets" contains definitions of terms and concepts of mass events:

public event- an open, peaceful, accessible to everyone, held in the form of a meeting, rally, demonstration, procession or picketing, or in various combinations of these forms, an action carried out on the initiative of citizens of the Russian Federation, political parties, other public associations and religious associations, including using Vehicle. The purpose of the public event is the free expression and formation of opinions, as well as putting forward demands on various issues of the political, economic, social and cultural life of the country and foreign policy issues;

meeting- the joint presence of citizens in a specially designated or adapted place for collective discussion of any socially significant issues;

rally - the mass presence of citizens in a certain place for the public expression of public opinion on topical problems of a predominantly socio-political nature;

demonstration - organized public expression of public sentiments by a group of citizens using posters, banners and other means of visual propaganda during the movement;

procession- mass passage of citizens along a predetermined route in order to draw attention to any problems;

picketing- a form of public expression of opinions carried out without movement and use of sound-amplifying technical means by placing one or more citizens near the picketed object using posters, banners and other means of visual agitation.

2. Cultural events(folk festivals, carnivals, festivals, professional holidays, concerts, fairs, etc.).

3. Sports-mass(Olympiads, sports competitions, competitions in various sports, etc.).

4. Religious(ceremonies, baptisms, sermons, religious holidays: Orthodox Easter, Muslim Eid al-Adha, Uraza, etc.)

5. Special events(funeral processions, ensuring the safety of the passage of officials entitled to state protection).

6. mixed activities, when several types of events are combined into one (national holidays of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation:

Sabantuy, Akatuy and others).

In addition, mass events can be subdivided on other grounds:

in importance - international, all-Russian, republican (territorial, regional) and local significance (city, district, etc.);

according to the frequency - one-time (opening of monuments, memorial complexes, etc.), recurring (elections, congresses, etc.);

by way of occurrence organized, spontaneous;

possible participation - public, limited by the number of participants.

The legal basis for the activities of citizens, public associations, state authorities, local governments, as well as their officials in the preparation and holding of mass events are the provisions of the Constitution of the Russian Federation, generally recognized principles and norms of international law, the Federal Constitutional Law "On the state of emergency", federal laws "On meetings, rallies, demonstrations, marches and pickets", "On political parties", "On public associations", "On security", "On the police", etc. In addition, the constitutions, laws, other legal acts of the subjects of the Russian Federation, as well as legal acts of local governments adopted by them within their powers.

Holding meetings, rallies, demonstrations, marches and pickets for the purpose of election campaigning or campaigning on referendum issues is also regulated by the norms of the Federal Law “On Basic Guarantees of Electoral Rights and the Right to Participate in a Referendum of Citizens of the Russian Federation” and other legislative acts on elections and referendums. The conduct of religious rites and ceremonies and other public events of a religious nature is regulated by separate provisions of the Federal Law “On Freedom of Conscience and Religious Associations”.

In accordance with Art. 7 of the Federal Law "On Meetings, Rallies, Demonstrations, Marches and Pickets", a notice of a public event (with the exception of a meeting and picketing conducted by one participant) is submitted by its organizer in writing to the executive authority of a constituent entity of the Russian Federation or a local self-government body within the time limit not earlier than 15 and not later than 10 days before the day of the public event. When picketing by a group of persons, a notice of holding a public event may be submitted no later than three days before the day of its holding, and if the indicated days coincide with Sunday and (or) a non-working holiday (non-working holidays), - no later than four days before the day its implementation.

The procedure for submitting a notice of holding a public event to the executive authority of a constituent entity of the Russian Federation or a local self-government body is regulated by the relevant law of the constituent entity of the Russian Federation.

The notice of a public event shall include:

1) Purpose of the public event;

2) The form of the public event;

3) the place(s) of holding the public event, the routes of movement of participants, and if the public event will be held using vehicles, information on the use of vehicles;

4) date, time of beginning and end of the public event;

5) the expected number of participants in the public event;

6) the forms and methods of ensuring public order by the organizer of the public event, the organization of medical care, the intention to use sound-amplifying technical means during the conduct of the public event;

7) last name, first name, patronymic or name of the organizer of the public event, information about his place of residence or stay or location and telephone number;

8) last names, first names and patronymics of persons authorized by the organizer of a public event to perform administrative functions for organizing and holding a public event;

9) the date of submission of the notice of the holding of the public event.

Any event has a form and content. And, of course, every event has a name. If you make a list of events that are held today, you get a list of several hundred items. But a careful study of this list reveals that, with all the variety of names, most of the events are based on the same forms. Events of various forms often contain the same content. For example, the "auction of historical knowledge" and "auction of geographical knowledge" are the same form filled with different content. And "environmental erudite" and "ecological landing" are two completely different forms with similar content.

Indeed, for the successful holding of events, you only need to know the existing forms and be able to fill these forms with the necessary content each time;

All events are organized according to one technology, according to one algorithm (a certain sequence of actions), which varies depending on the form of the event.

Stages of organizing an event.

1. Preliminary work of the organizer.

Preliminary work begins with the collection of information necessary for planning in the future. This is the clarification of financial issues, organizational, the formation of an organizational group, the preparation of the necessary documents.

2. Collective planning.

An action plan is being written. It includes the distribution of responsibilities in the team. It is impossible to make a good event alone. Proper distribution of responsibilities will help not only the organizers in holding the event, but will also provide an opportunity to work out all areas of activity more carefully.

3. Collective preparation.

Elaboration by directions includes an analysis of all possible needs and risks. It is important to take into account all the circumstances of the organization of your direction. It is also important to coordinate your actions with other areas in order to take into account all the changes that may occur in the process of work.

4. Holding an event.

For the event, you need to recruit as many people as you need. You should not "save" on those responsible for lighting design, on people who know how to competently work with the projector, on stage workers, on duty in the hall and on many other people who will help you make the event top marks.

5. Summing up (analysis of the case).

This item is necessary not only for the head of the event, but for all participants. Summing up can be carried out in various forms. For example, it could be a discussion or a survey. The form of analysis of the event is chosen by the manager at his discretion, and depending on what results he needs to get. So, for example, when questioning, you can find out those questions that not all participants can openly answer. You can also combine different forms to get more information about the past event.

Here is a list of standard questions that can be included in a survey.

 What did you like?

 What worked especially well?

 What could have been done better?

 What to consider next time?

 What did not work and why?

 What do we propose for the future?

Event Forms

The Kostroma Pedagogical School proposes, as a basis for the typology, the methods of movement of participants. In this case, there are three main types of forms: static, static-dynamic, dynamic-static. Examples static forms(performances) are a line, a rally, a KVN, a concert, a performance, a lecture, a frontal conversation (including a meeting, a planning meeting, a team meeting), watching a movie, video, TV movie. Let us briefly characterize these forms.

1. Ruler - a ritual performance involving the construction of participants on any site. Line up is of secondary importance. The functions of the subjects of interaction are as follows: the leader of the line (is in the center of attention), speakers (with monologues or short performances come to the center of attention), spectators, performers of ritual actions. The content of the interaction is the formation of an emotional-value attitude to something and the receipt of any information. It is important to note that the origin of the line is associated with the formation of troops.

2. A rally is a performance that involves the demonstration of certain views, positions in the form of monologue speeches by individual speakers.

3. Performance - a performance involving a demonstration by the performers for the audience of a holistic theatrical action.

Varieties of the performance are an oral magazine (newspaper), performance of the propaganda team. This is the presentation of any information (actual problems) in an artistic form. The performance involves the implementation by the participants of such functions as actors (speakers) and spectators. In the theatrical scenario - the play, the development of the plot is laid down: the plot, the ascent, the climax, the denouement. Therefore, the organizer should take into account the emotionally meaningful algorithm laid down by the play.

4. Concert - a performance involving a demonstration of artistic performances by the performers for the audience (dances, songs, theatrical miniatures, etc.).

5. Lecture - a presentation that involves the presentation in the form of a monologue of a set of views on any subject.

6. Frontal conversation (including "Meeting with an interesting person", "Eagle Light") - a specially organized dialogue during which the leader leads the exchange of views on any issue (problem). Frontal conversation can be organized using the game. For example, lesson (“Creativity Lesson”, “Fantasy Lesson”, etc.) imitates a school lesson, where the leader plays the role of a teacher, the rest of the participants are students; the rules of such a game correspond to the rules of a regular school lesson.

7. Dispute - a specially organized presentation, involving a demonstrative clash of opinions on any issue (problem).

8. Discussion (including a meeting, planning meeting, team meeting) - a specially organized exchange of views on any issue, problem in order to obtain an information product in the form of a solution.

9. Watching a movie, video, TV movie, performance - a performance during which the participants are shown a spectacle prepared by professionals. In this form, there is only one function of the subjects of interaction - the viewer.

10. Performance-competition (competition) - a performance that involves demonstrating to the audience a competition between participants in something. Varieties: competitive program on the stage, sports games on the site. This form is quite popular (KVN, knightly tournament). Sports games can be both traditional and playful.

All these forms are united by the fact that the organization of space in them implies a pronounced center of attention (stage, tribune, sports ground, etc.), the nature of the actions of the participants is determined by their functions as speakers or spectators, even if these functions are exchanged during the action.

The second type of form static-dynamic. This type includes a fair, a subbotnik, making an exhibition, newspapers, preparing for a presentation in a circle, a situational role-playing game, an evening of communication in an impromptu cafe, and a productive game.

A characteristic feature of this type of form is that there is no single focus here. The centers of attention are scattered around the site, and each participant can choose them according to their taste, or the center of attention moves according to the algorithm of this form.

11. Fair (folk festival) - a joint entertainment deployed on a specific site, involving the involvement of participants in various attractions.

The fair has:

 Free movement of participants throughout the space where the rides are located. Engagement in attractions is usually provided in the traditional way: tokens are issued for participation, which can be exchanged for something tasty or healthy. A whole economic game can also be unfolded. You can spend your tokens, getting word cards for them. The one who can collect a whole phrase or several phrases from the received words becomes the winner and receives a special prize.

 An attraction is a specific competition that does not require special skills and a long time to complete the task.

 The fair begins with a general meeting, where the rules of the game are explained, prizes that await the participant who has collected the most tokens can be named.

 The final of the fair can be held in the form of an auction - a sale, where participants buy memorable prizes and souvenirs for the remaining tokens.

Fair includes:

 General collection, which may be accompanied by a line, a carnival procession;

 Free movement of participants on the site;

 Free choice of attraction and participation in it;

 Final collection, with and without auction.

12. Subbotnik (labor action) - limited in place and time, specially organized subject-practical labor activity of people.

13. Production of an exhibition (newspapers, books, chronicles, etc.) - a specially organized activity for the creation of exhibits or an information product for subsequent demonstration.

14. Preparation for the presentation - a specially organized joint activity for inventing, developing and implementing the concept of any presentation. Each stage can be singled out as a separate form of work.

15. Performance in a circle - a ritual entertainment that unfolds around an object (Christmas tree, fire, etc.), involving the movement of participants in a circle.

16. A situational role-playing game is a specially organized competition in solving interaction problems and in simulating the substantive actions of participants performing strictly specified roles in a fictional situation, regulated by the rules of the game.

17. An evening of communication in an impromptu cafe - entertainment specially organized on one site that imitates a feast. Varieties: "party", "gatherings", "salon", "club", "reception", "assembly".

18. Productive (innovative) game - a joint activity to create an information product that involves the exchange of views. Including their specially organized collision, demonstration of intermediate results. As a rule, the productive game algorithm includes the following procedures: general gathering-start (statement of the problem, explanation of the rules), work in groups, general gathering-finish (summing up).

19. Dance program - disco with competitions, prizes.

All forms of events listed above have long and firmly established themselves in our work. And all of us at least once held or participated in such events.

Invite young people to work, create initiative groups, combine various forms, experiment with the content of your events. Let them be unique and bright!

How to organize a large-scale city event and repeat this success several times? As part of the City Constructor project, we publish inspiring material from the Strelka Institute, where leaders and managers of sociocultural projects from eleven cities spoke about their experience and the reaction of residents to environmental changes.

We work with the historical environment, and not with official cultural heritage sites, for the restoration of which funds are allocated. Historic buildings can stand for decades, and no one will touch them. So, some houses in Samara have not seen painting for a hundred years. The problem of the historical environment is painful for many Russian cities. Most often it is used as a construction site for new sleeping areas. There is a lot of discussion about her on the Internet, and we decided that if millions of comments are written about her fate on social networks, then you can find at least a dozen people who will move from words to deeds.

Since the authorities had no idea what to do with the historical environment, we decided to take matters into our own hands. To show that even small injections, which can be made by the citizens themselves, radically change the situation. We wanted to show how beautiful historic buildings can be with a little care. Initially, we decided to just paint the houses. Then we realized that this was not enough. Carpentry work, replacement of parts that have become unusable, work with residents of houses are needed. The project is constantly acquiring new meanings. Later, the idea came that it was necessary to bring culture into this environment, create events, and improve the territories. This is how we learn and make the festival more and more complex and perfect. In 2016, it was successfully held in three cities, where we broadcast our experience. We have accumulated so much knowledge that we decided to transfer the technology further. Therefore, in March we are holding the Tom Sawyer Festa School. Applications have already come from ten cities.

At the beginning of the launch of the festival, there was much more skepticism towards our activities than now. Not everyone believed that we would be able to complete the work on at least one house. And now 11 houses in three cities have already been restored. In Samara, our objects attract tourists: thousands of sightseers have visited the houses, who, before our work, simply passed by them, not seeing anything remarkable. We tried very hard to make the work at the festival not a mournful heroic labor, but a real holiday. A place where you want to come to relax. Including take a break from constant mental labor and engage in physical. "Tom Sawyer Fest" came out in its own way as socially useful fitness.

Since 2002 I have been doing graffiti, and since 2008 I have started to travel a lot around Russia. On my trips, I got to know the locals, we drew and walked around the city. Returning each time to Yekaterinburg, I began to pay more attention to the city, architecture, people and mentality. I began to really fall in love with him and decided to hold events dedicated to the promotion of graffiti. Just at that moment I met the same caring people as me, they were Evgeny Fateev and Andrey Kolokolov. We began to jointly come up with a format for something interesting, important, large-scale, and most importantly, citywide. And one fine day in 2010, on a bench in the city center, the Stenograffia Street Art Festival was born. Our task was to make the urban space a little better, brighter and more interesting.

Every year, Stenograffia produces new creative projects, new meanings in the street space. After we formulated our picture of the world, we managed to infect the same caring people. So every year we form a large team of organizers and volunteers.

For the first two years, we explained to people what it is and why it is needed. Gradually, Stenograffia began to attract citizens, as they saw that it was not so difficult to change the environment where they lived. Yekaterinburg residents are included in the process, their yard, street, city are no longer someone else's space, but habitable and their own. It happens that the townspeople help the artist create an object or feed him. Once, someone brought a TV outside so that the artist could draw and watch a football match of his favorite team.

We sincerely believe that we need to fight for the "ecology of the visual", because by changing our environment, we change ourselves. I think that's what attracts people. People of all ages, wealth and mentality come to us. Schoolchildren, students, couriers, managers, bartenders, directors of agencies - everyone wants to help Stenograffia. Someone wants to gain knowledge, someone wants to make the world brighter, someone just wants to take a break from everyday work.

When the initiative comes from below, the project lives longer: as long as the citizens need it. This position is stronger, because if the project is conceived from above, then the directives will suddenly stop and the project will close.

I wanted to create a universal artistic language. Just such an occasion was “Kurbanistics”. Organizing the festival, I learned to speak clearly about complex professional matters. This is an invaluable experience of simultaneous communication with officials, tractor drivers, artists, famous Moscow architects, local residents, public utilities, students. This kind of communication definitely makes you act. With the help of master classes, lectures and architectural workshops that we hold at the festival, city residents master the technologies of working with the urban environment.

During the festival, we talked a lot with the locals, so we got approval from them. Constantly kept to themselves the idea that people like to see things that reflect themselves. Therefore, a good organizer must be able to maintain a balance between conceptualism and lubok.

Students, startups and people who are looking for themselves take an active part in Kurbanistika. We also have a single headquarters of volunteers in the city. Thanks to him, people get different skills, and the team of city festivals becomes more open. The rest come to watch, listen and just relax.

In fact, "Kurbanistika" acts as a catalyst for change. When we held the Arts and Crafts College Festival in 2015, the department of education was hooked, and other colleges also began to introduce educational innovations, to organize design conferences. In addition, we ourselves continue to do workshops and environmental projects every year at other festivals in the city. It turns out that "Kurbanistika" each time takes on a new face and requests.

The idea of ​​"Boo! Fest" did not come to Vladimir, but grew in it. I knew about the Moscow Boo!fest, I was familiar with the organizers, and the very idea of ​​combining small publishing houses, handmade and non-commercial music in one place seemed pretty. Besides, "Eidos", our store-club, it was time to develop. On the one hand, it is logical to make a book festival, on the other hand, it is a good challenge, since no one has done them in Vladimir.

Our team is constantly joined by those who are attracted by the spirit of creativity. Boo!fest is rubber and can accommodate a variety of projects, the main thing is that they fit in style. The administration has not interfered in work processes for a long time: we do all the content, all the content and form. This also attracts creative people, many of whom shun officials and do not participate in city events, not finding a place for themselves in them. At the same time, the Governor's Symphony Orchestra plays at the Bu! Fest, libraries make their own program, and the Vladimir-Suzdal Museum-Reserve participates. The whole essence of success is to bring together a variety of people in a common field of love for reading and curiosity for books that you will not see in a chain store, while maintaining a bright and light atmosphere. This lightness is infectious.

Seven years ago, the OMK-Uchastie Charitable Foundation was already actively working in Vyksa. We cooperated with institutions that help children in difficult life situations, provided targeted assistance to families, and conducted educational programs for teachers. But we wanted to create a project for teenagers and youth of Vyksa - for those who in ten years will come to work at the Vyksa Metallurgical Plant, at other enterprises of this city, for those who aspire to big cities for new experiences.

Sometimes it seems to people that life in big cities is more intense and fulfilling, so there is a desire to go to the capital, abroad, away from home. At first, we focused on high school students and students. Over the years, we realized that our festival is also interesting for older people. Although our main guideline is not age related: we are making a festival for those who love Vyksa and are ready to participate in its transformation. We strive to ensure that Vyksa takes its rightful place on the cultural map of the country, so that the residents of the city of metallurgists are proud not only of the history of the plant, sophisticated technologies of modern production, but also of the festival of urban culture "ART-Ovrag", which changes the rhythm of the city's life, its courtyards, parks, squares, the fate of its inhabitants.

At the first three festivals, the bias was made in favor of youth modern culture: music, extreme sports and street art. In subsequent years, the emphasis shifted to the field of architecture and the development of urban spaces: art courtyards and elements of urban park improvement appeared. "ART-Ovrag" is a festival of urban culture that transforms the life of the whole city. In Vyksa, in the central park, on the embankment, in urban microdistricts, unique modern art objects remain, for the creation of which artists, sculptors and architects from all over the world come. Exhibitions are held in the park, open-air studios are being created, where musicians, choreographers and athletes conduct master classes for everyone. So, in the year of the 70th anniversary of the Victory, we held an action in memory of the residents of Vyksa who went to the front. All day the artist drew a map of the pre-war city with chalk on the pavement. Participants of the action lit 6,355 candles - according to the number of those who did not return home. Residents of Vyksa placed candles on the map of the city and danced a waltz, the same one that the volunteers who left for the front did not have time to dance in 1941. Both veterans and young people danced.

The preparation of the festival takes a year. The next festival ends, and the very next day, with a detailed analysis of each program, feedback from residents and publications in the press, planning for the next festival begins. We communicate a lot with artists, citizens, volunteers, curators of programs. They help us to look at the festival from the outside, they create the history of the festival with their personal participation. The number of fans and guests who specially come to Vyksa for three days is growing in order to see everything with their own eyes.

The festival is changing, and the attitude towards it is changing.

For six years of urban culture, ART-Ovrag entered the life of Vyksa as a large-scale and expected event. We have the experience of holding the festival and a recognizable name, more than eighty art objects and eminent participants. The older ART-Ovrag becomes, the warmer people treat it, and we, in turn, strive to create all the conditions for residents to become its active participants and organizers. One of the results of our work is that today Vyksa is known not only as a city of metallurgists, but also as a city where its inhabitants, together with artists, create a new space for life and creativity.

I especially want to say about the ART-Dvor program. We offered a competition where neighbors who decided to transform their yard can apply. They discuss their proposals with architects and designers, meet several times to come to a common decision. Then they actively participate in the transformation of their yard, work, go on subbotniks, and do landscaping.

The festival helps citizens formulate and implement their initiatives.

For more than three years, we have been regularly holding city weekends - these are meetings of citizens where you can get acquainted with city communities and activists, a lecture hall, a fair, games, and workshops. It is very nice to see how the townspeople come in advance and organize their shops and cafes. But it's still a sample story for ten people. We wanted more people to be able to actively participate, and the flea market was the solution to this problem. Our participants immediately picked up the idea. The area in the TEXTIL yard is ideal for holding it. We managed to attract people who have never been to traditional chaotic flea markets. Since the first flea market, we have seen that the format works and is gaining popularity very quickly. For residents of the city, this is an easy and affordable opportunity to get involved. Everyone has things that have ceased to serve, and now there is an opportunity to give them to someone who is looking for and appreciates it. We are pleased that very different people join the participation: from students to pensioners, from people who came to the flea market for the first time, to flea market regulars. Everyone is united by the desire to have an interesting time, hang around in a crowd of bright and pleasant people, chat and find a unique little thing.

While we are preparing for the flea market, we are talking to participants who register in advance. We set them up to the fact that the flea market is not a trade for the sake of trade. The main thing here is communication. Tell the story of the thing, tell your story or the story of your family. An item acquires magic as soon as we wrap it in memories.

We were amazed that many visitors and even participants did not know what a flea market was before. Therefore, from the first event, we introduced a lecture hall where we talk about the traditions of flea markets in different cities of the world, about Yaroslavl flea markets, about the history of things and the need to give them a second life. We are opening a recycling workshop, talking about the coolest finds on our social media pages, and inviting experienced hoarders. We also support the local community of environmentalists who promote the idea of ​​not buying single-use, one-season items, not throwing away things that can serve other people or can be recycled.

Our organization - an NGO - is a moderator between citizens and government officials. We have earned our credit of trust, people understand more precisely what values ​​are behind our desire to organize meetings of citizens, they know that we are not led by political or commercial forces. We are the same citizens and are also interested in making life comfortable and interesting in the city.

Initially, there was no idea to create a full-fledged music festival. A friend and local stage distributor Sasha Zhelekov came to our agency and offered to organize a “big party” in the open air. We discussed everything and decided to approach the organization a little deeper: to think over the concept, philosophy, communication with guests, emotions. Doing something just for the sake of it is boring. Especially in the case of Tesla, there was an opportunity to really leave a mark on the history of the city. What was ripening in our heads, no one in the history of Khabarovsk has done yet.

We immediately approved the format of the open-air festival. Firstly, there are no good concert venues in Khabarovsk. Secondly, open-air is the only way to bring together really many people. It was very difficult to organize Tesla. Even before the festival, we thought of ourselves as experienced organizers. We have many city festivals behind us, hundreds of commercial events for brands, but Tesla is completely exhausting: there are a lot of nuances, a lot of financial, human, technical and time resources. In the regions, everything is much more difficult with the implementation of ideas: you can come up with anything you want, but not everything is available.

In order to come up with and organize "Firs, Sticks, Five Bison", we had several factors coincide. Our team saw photos of bison from the Prague Zoo, where they chewed on coniferous trees. At that time, we were friends with the foresters of the Sestroretsk forest park, who were responsible for bison. They also had tree crushers. And now everything came together at one point: there are bison, there are fir trees, there are crushers. So we came up with the idea of ​​collecting unnecessary coniferous trees from the townspeople and donating them to animal feed. The very idea of ​​the project is fresh and very logical. Before us, no one set up eco-processing of Christmas trees.

When planning such a project, we, as a volunteer movement, rely on our resources. Residents reacted positively to the action. With our help, everyone learned that the life of bison is not as terrible as they write about it on social networks. I think the people of St. Petersburg liked the idea because it combines several components: ecology, care for animals and the available resource in the form of a Christmas tree. Citizens understand that they can help and do it easily. A variety of people participate, who are united by indifference to the environment.

We start preparing three months before the start of the action. In such work, a good team with clear roles and working functionality of each organizer is very important. Inclusion in the process is a necessary condition for the successful implementation of the project. You also need to be proactive. It is what improves the quality of life. It is sometimes easier for citizens to make a specific project than for officials who are limited by protocols and budget. But the best effect is obtained with the cooperation of officials, public organizations and residents. “Fir-trees, Sticks, Five Buffaloes” is being held for the third year. After some time, other cities became interested. Moscow joined last year, and this year also Yaroslavl and Arkhangelsk.

Thanks to our campaign, a new tradition has appeared in St. Petersburg, which completes the January holidays. For citizens, this is an opportunity to contribute to the cause of ecology, animal protection and reasonable consumption. According to the feedback of the participants, many are grateful and inspired, they want to join.

The idea of ​​the project "Run, Rostov, Run" was born due to the request of the audience. At Rostov TEDx, my colleague Ruslan Khismatullin talked about running and goal setting. After that, I was inundated with questions about how and where to start. And in order to answer them, a Saturday run around the city center was invented, where you can ask and hear the answer, feel the shoulder of a friend and just get into a friendly community, a warm company. I was on one of those runs. The Saturday morning race became the main tradition of Run, Rostov, Run, and people began to gather around this tradition.

People of different professions, ages, statuses gather. You can even say “from different worlds”, but a great common interest in running really unites us all. One simple run can change the idea of ​​any aspect of life simply because you ran with an expert in this field and had a heart-to-heart talk.

Over time, the concept has changed a little: in a few years, against the backdrop of the development of the movement, narrower communities with active leaders have appeared, often seriously competing with each other. Now we are like an umbrella over every runner in the city. We are a platform that unites all amateurs, regardless of adherence to a particular club or school. The city government helps us significantly, for example, in organizing the city-wide holiday "Run on January 1", which set a record for Russia in terms of mass participation, but this is a separate big story.

Of course, running communities existed in the city before, "KLB" - running clubs. But it was not easy for many in this environment: with all due respect to colleagues, the communities looked like pioneer circles and interest clubs with a strict set of overt and unspoken rules. It seems that people lacked simplicity and accessibility.

We live in a time when the lives of citizens are influenced only by themselves. If they have a request, then other residents of the city will jointly organize a response to it. Further, the domino effect: in two years the number of amateur races has increased several times - they take place almost every weekend, really mass events have become possible, in good weather the stadium is not overcrowded, and one athletics arena for the city has become obviously not enough. And this, of course, is not the merit of the organizers or the community - it is the result of the interest and activity of the city's residents.

At the beginning, the guests of the markets were our friends and young people just like us. Everyone really liked it, but many said that it was a “hipster hangout”. Time passed and we became an urban project. A high-quality market and the environment that we create allow new interesting participants to be born. The project began to attract people because of the good venues, the professional approach of the team and the concern for the participants. We bring together creative entrepreneurs who are original compared to classic retail.

There are a number of achievements that I am very proud of. For example, during the two days of the market, we showed the site of the Zarya Factory in all aspects: as an exhibition, music, lecture. My dislike for the New Year in Vladivostok motivated me to make the Scandinavian Village New Year's Fair - one of the cutest and most challenging projects. We also came up with neon markets, created an unusual decor and shifted the attention of customers to the atmosphere.

Volgograd was almost completely destroyed during the Second World War. It is a city that lacks cultural continuity and memory. We have devoted our research to the study of this phenomenon, as well as the actualization of the festival movement. The idea of ​​the project arose from the feeling of eventlessness and the absence of an alternative artistic product. We have set ourselves a goal - to become a venue for a regular art event, to develop and promote local artists, urbanists and curators, and to declare the existence of a local art scene. "Decade" seeks to teach artists the entire cycle of creating works.

We also decided to develop a number of inactive and abandoned urban spaces. Each year, our team selects architecturally unique but abandoned, inaccessible or inactive locations. For example, the spaces of the Distillery or the building of the Tsaritsyno Vodokachka. And of course, it is very important for us to activate urban communities. We were able not only to “acquire” some public spaces again, but also to invent new ones: for example, a few months later, the organizers of other cultural projects, following our footsteps, held their events at the empty Distillery and at the Vodokachka.

"Decade" is a research project in which artists reflect on the local specifics and features of the region. Therefore, every year we choose a new concept, notion or idea that is defining or symptomatic of the territory. An important content of many projects implemented within the framework of the "Decade" was the orientation towards participatory art (the art of participation. - Note ed.). We decided to invest our resources in changing the attitudes of citizens to the issues we raise, from the state of roads to the preservation of cultural heritage.

Thus, the participants in our project fall into two, often non-overlapping groups: these are specific communities with which artists work, and viewers, who at any moment can become accomplices and give feedback. We are ready to accept anyone who wants to join our community.

In order to track feedback on the project, we entered the hashtag #publicartvg and were surprised by the positive response.

Despite the fact that we manage to involve individual local communities in the project, in general we observe two problems. First, local residents are skeptical about any project activity and do not believe that collective action can bring tangible changes. Secondly, despite the fact that Volgograd is one of the most multi-ethnic regions in southern Russia, almost all communities lead an extremely isolated and closed existence. So we are working to build a sense of belonging and try to build connections between closed communities.

We rely on the enthusiasm of the participants. Now we receive the main financial resources for the implementation of works through grants, so for us, of course, the support of the administration is important, at least at the level of human contact and recognition. Every year we try to attract artists from Volgograd and those who influenced the development of the local art scene in previous decades, but left the city.

Performing together with established artists, young people find role models for themselves, role models and the belief that they can achieve something not only on the local art scene. After two "Decades" we have already achieved some success. A community of young artists was created in Volgograd, who got the opportunity to try their hand at contemporary art. During the second Decade, Volgograd residents witnessed the emergence of new collaborations between artists.
