Mendeleev University of Chemical Technology of Russia, where students of the University of World Economy and Diplomacy (UWED) reside. More than 160 UWED students took part in the event.
The meeting aimed to support the moral and personal development of young people, enhance their social engagement, promote psychological well-being, strengthen legal awareness, and foster a healthy social and psychological environment in the student residence.
The event was led by Oydin Mannopova, First Vice-Rector for Youth Affairs and Spiritual and Educational Work, with the participation of N. Norova, University Psychologist; Sh. Boymatov, Prevention Inspector; and the UWED FORCE public engagement team.
During the meeting, Oydin Mannopova highlighted the importance of young people’s personal development, commitment to learning, initiative, and responsibility to society. She encouraged students to make effective use of the opportunities provided by the university, acquire modern knowledge and skills, develop independent thinking, pursue continuous self-improvement, and take an active role in university life.
Particular emphasis was placed on respect for national and universal human values, adherence to ethical standards, and the promotion of mutual respect, solidarity, and personal responsibility.
The meeting also focused on students’ living conditions in the residence, their day-to-day needs, social and psychological well-being, interpersonal relationships, and concerns affecting their daily lives. The importance of listening to students’ views and suggestions, identifying existing issues, and determining appropriate approaches to addressing them within the remit of the responsible officials was emphasised.
This approach supports open communication with students, the timely consideration of their concerns, access to assistance from relevant specialists where necessary, and the continued improvement of student-centred support mechanisms.
University Psychologist N. Norova provided recommendations on maintaining psychological well-being, strengthening emotional resilience, managing stressful situations, developing healthy communication skills, and fostering mutual respect. The importance of seeking professional psychological support in a timely manner when needed was also highlighted.
Prevention Inspector Sh. Boymatov addressed compliance with the law, civic responsibility, observance of internal regulations, and the maintenance of public order. He emphasised the importance of preventing legal violations among students, promoting responsible behaviour, and ensuring a safe living environment.
The participation of the UWED FORCE public engagement team underscored the value of cooperation in strengthening solidarity among students, encouraging teamwork, and supporting student-led initiatives within the university community.
The meeting also addressed ways to strengthen responsibility, discipline, and mutual respect in the student residence, encourage meaningful use of leisure time, promote active participation in spiritual and educational activities, and support youth initiatives.
The meeting represents an important component of UWED’s ongoing efforts to provide comprehensive student support, understand students’ needs and concerns, create favourable conditions for their personal and moral development, and foster a healthy, safe, and mutually respectful living environment in the student residence.
