Lessons of good in Kazan schools are held for the second year during the autumn Good Week, within the framework of the project “Good Kazan”. This year more than 100 famous Kazan citizens hold them for first-graders of all schools of the city: athletes, artists, prominent public and state figures.

During the lesson of good, Ilsur Metshin asked the first-graders what good deeds they had done over the past summer and the first school days. It turned out that there were a lot of such: each of the 38 young lyceum students was ready to tell the Mayor about their good deeds.

“It is not so difficult to make good deeds, you just need a great desire. And I see that you have it. I'm very happy for you. If you do good deeds from the first day, from the first class, then the city will be the most kind. Be sure to help those who need it”, said Ilsur Metshin and gave the first-graders advice to start their day with a smile and a good attitude to their parents. The Mayor of Kazan also invited them to attend the fair of good.

After the lesson of good, Dilyara Bikueva, the director of the Lyceum №83, held a tour of the educational institution for the Mayor. In the school restaurant, Ilsur Metshin talked with chefs and high school students, who were on duty and helped kitchen workers to set the tables on that day. Future graduates told the Mayor that many of them are going to continue their studies in Kazan, choosing a technical profession in one of the universities of the city. The Mayor supported them, noting that the country needs good specialists in this sphere.

In addition, Ilsur Metshin met with Khamzey Kildeev, a teacher of geography and economics, who runs a tourist club on the basis of the lyceum for 30 years. Over the years, schoolchildren have made a number of sports and categorical campaigns, including the Mountainous Crimea, the Southern Baikal region, the mountains of Karatau (Kazakhstan) and the Caucasus, East Sayan, etc. The teacher showed the Mayor a school collection of minerals, talked about the tourist club and shared his dream to visit Kamchatka with children. The Mayor of Kazan promised to help in organizing the campaign.

At the next stop of the tour, the students of the 11 IT grade Nikita Kalyanov and Mikhail Kuznetsov presented their inventions to I. Metshin in the room of informatics. They presented robotics, which is able to go around obstacles, and also to move along the line.

The project “Diary of Good Deeds” has been implemented since 2016 and is a system of motivating children for good deeds. The online platform дневникдобрыхдел.рф operates simultaneously with the printed version of the diary, at which the project users share their good deeds and participate in contests in the format of a social network. The project received flattering reviews from representatives of non-profit and charitable organizations even in the first year of its implementation. In particular, Elena Topoleva, the director of the Agency for Social Information, noted that she had not seen such a project as the “Diary of Good Deeds” anywhere else.
