From October 19 to 22, a regional Volunteer Forum of the Siberian and Far Eastern Districts was held in Khabarovsk. It was aimed at creating a platform for interaction with volunteers and exchanging experience with participants from different regions, obtaining and applying knowledge and tools for volunteer management, and developing personal competencies in various fields. The forum brought together 300 representatives of volunteer organizations.
