On the second day of this international meeting, the main item on the agenda was a meeting with the Vice-Chairman of the Committee of the Federation Council of the Russian Federation Andrey Klimov. This meeting brought together young people from Abkhazia, Armenia, Brazil, Mexico, Tajikistan, Serbia, the Russian Federation and Africa. In total, 80 young politically engaged future leaders from 40 countries. The youth focused on the current political and geopolitical situation around the world, in Ukraine, Armenia, Georgia and of course in Russia and Europe. It was when meeting Klimov, who described himself as more of a political practitioner than a theorist, that the discussion was most lively, as his knowledge of world politics is at the highest global level.
The delegates then divided into seven groups, each addressing specific issues that will become the outcome of this meeting - e.g. Developing a network of regional and local branches; Developing and promoting a political party through the media; Ways to stimulate political participation of citizens in the party's activities; or Working with popular demands as a way to increase the party's popularity.
