On March 20, in the premises of the city Palace of Student Youth, the NGO "Association of Young Reformers" organized a round table on the topic: "What is student self-governance?". During this event, students—representatives of student self-governance bodies of the city's higher education institutions—shared theoretical and practical experience of student self-governance activities with their younger colleagues, school-student deputies of the Lutsk City Student Parliament.\n\nFrom the students' side, representatives of student self-governance bodies of the two largest universities of Volyn took part in the round table, namely, Dmytro Bezverbnyi, student dean of the Faculty of International Relations of Lesya Ukrainka Volyn National University, and Viktoriia Levchuk, an activist of student self-governance of Lutsk State Technical University. The school-student environment was represented by leaders of school self-governance of Lutsk. \nDmytro Bezverbnyi drew the attention of those present to the fact that student self-governance is not only the organization of leisure, holidays and discos, it is a certain link that helps solve problems arising between students and teachers, and the university administration. Viktoriia Levchuk spoke in more detail about the structure of the student self-governance body at her educational institution and what the students involved in self-governance do. According to the students, a significant problem is the formation of the organization's team, so usually the core of the student self-governance body consists of 5-6 people who actively work in this field. \nThe school students, in turn, frankly spoke about their achievements and the problems they encountered during the organization of student self-governance in their schools. Vice-President of the student parliament Oleksandr Lvovskyi, a representative of Educational Complex No. 9, spoke about the pros and cons of the work of their association. A similar structure in our city was created recently, and during its existence it has shown good results and fully justifies the hopes placed on the parliament when it was created.\nAccording to the head of AMoRe, Mykhailo Shelep, active participants and creators of influential student self-governance bodies need to be prepared starting from the school desk. And since student self-governance is mainly handled by students of grades 10-11, that is, future university applicants and subsequently students, it is therefore entirely appropriate to interest school youth in public work at universities.\nAt the conclusion of the round table, the students invited the school students, after enrolling in higher education institutions, to actively join the work of student organizations as well, in order to pass on the positive experience of student self-governance.\n
