MINSK, 9 March (BelTA) - The All-Belarusian campaign ‘We are citizens of Belarus!’ dedicated to Constitution Day launches at the Constitutional Court in Minsk on 9 March, Svetlana Pavlenina, Secretary of the Central Committee of the Belarusian Youth Union BRSM, told BelTA.
“The campaign will focus on 14-year-old boys and girls - representatives of all regions and the city of Minsk. A total of 25 people. The passports of citizens of the Republic of Belarus will be presented to the young people by Chairman of the Constitutional Court Sergei Sivets and First Secretary of the BRSM Central Committee Vladimir Pavlovsky. “Traditionally, the young people also receive symbolic gifts during a ceremony. The event participants will receive a signature box containing the Constitution and the state flag and an educational puzzle map - a set of magnetic elements made in the shape of the territorial units of our country.”
First launched by the BRSM in 2004, this patriotic initiative has grown immensely popular among young people and has rightfully become one of Belarus’ cherished traditions. The official passport ceremony celebrates teenager’ coming of age, reinforcing their new status as full citizens of Belarus with corresponding responsibilities to the state and its laws. Belarus annually celebrates Constitution Day on 15 March. The Constitution establishes the foundations of state power and public life, guarantees citizens’ basic rights and freedoms, and outlines the principles of a democratic, social, and legal state. It also plays a key role in shaping the civic identity and national character of Belarusians.
The campaign will run in all regions of Belarus on 9-15 March.
