The activities and lessons are led by young people, with support from teachers from the local school. Why this age group? The young people own the village in a different way. They are independent of the old ideas on what a rural Russian village is for, and the painted Lenin above the door of the village hall. They are the future, and should have a voice on the future of the village.
