The Overclocking project is gaining popularity among students and schoolchildren from all over Russia

The new youth project "Dispersal" is now gaining popularity among students and schoolchildren all over Russia. Thanks to the platform, participants from all over the country can complete training in various specialties, communicate with professionals or interview them.

In total, the project, created on the initiative of Innopraktika, includes 11 areas — from working in the media to assembling a balloon and launching it in the format of a reality show. The "Constellation" is very popular now. Participants recreate the most important events. In particular, they get used to the role of outstanding personalities in order to understand the logic of decisions and processes.

Students, like in a theater, play the roles of iconic characters and travel through the pages of the past. For example, the Kazan Aviation Institute is beginning to understand why Charles VII trusted Joan of Arc in 1429, when all the nobility were against it.

"I got the role of the king. It's quite interesting to get used to a new role and try something new," said third—year student Azat Sharafiev.

At the Novosibirsk University of Economics and Management, intermodal teachers work alongside students who help them feel the weight of the decisions of those whose role young people are trying on.

"Dates, events, people, and total immersion in history. Overclocking the Constellation is a unique project that allows you to travel into the past, combining history and theater, which allows you not only to understand the course of events, but also the motivation of historical figures," said Sergey Khaidarov, a correspondent for Izvestia.

"Constellations" is because it is called a combination of circumstances that often cause historical achievements, and "Dispersal" is because the project is designed to unite, captivate and inspire young people from all over the country. The actors, students of the legendary GITIS, help in this.

"That's exactly the goal, so that the plot makes you want to try to do it yourself," said Grigory Zaslavsky, rector of the Russian Institute of Theater Arts — GITIS.

They came up with this idea at Innopraktika, which combines science, modern technology and business with its projects. It also helps students not just decide on a profession, but find themselves.

"Innopraktika has a number of such value—based socio-cultural tracks that allow our guys to feel this connection with what Russia is doing, to feel that I am Russia," said Natalia Popova, First Deputy General Director of Innopraktika.

The authors of the project accurately felt the moment and guessed the shape — the videos have just appeared online on the VK Video platform, and have already collected more than a million views.

"If we had had such videos when I was in school, I would have been extremely grateful," said Georgy Sagiashvili, a theater and film actor and GITIS student.

Overclocking Constellation is part of a huge community that also includes dancing, hockey, careers, space, folklore, and more. Hundreds of students from 45 regions of Russia have already joined the Crackdown. Psychologists, biologists, engineers, and even cosmonauts — the best experts in the country share their experience in Innopraktika projects. In the "Dispersal of the Constellation" they are historians of the Russian Military Historical Society.

The fact that the heroes of key events were often the same age as the participants in the project also plays into a complete immersion in the past. Joan of Arc liberated Orleans at 18, Peter I founded the Northern Capital at 30, and Prince Vladimir changed the fate of the country, one might say, as a student.

"The first attempt to create a reform. Vladimir is 20 years old. The Baptism of Russia in 988 was Vladimir's 28th birthday," said Konstantin Averyanov, Doctor of Historical Sciences, leading researcher at the Institute of Russian History of the Russian Academy of Sciences.

A creative project allows everyone to make a big contribution to the creation of unique content filled with meaning. Which, in turn, helps those millions of viewers to better understand history, themselves and Russia.
