Today, on the second Wednesday of February, Belarus launched a new format for a national project to promote conscious parenting among schoolchildren and students. The main event of the "Being a Mom Is Cool!" project took place at the Moskva Cinema, attended by over 660 students from the Belarusian State University. Similar events were also held at five cinemas in the capital, attended by students from the country's leading universities—BSEU, BSTU, BSPU named after Maxim Tank, BSUFL, and BNTU.

The project, initiated by the Belarusian Women's Union public association with the support of the Belarusian Ministry of Education will be held monthly, every second Wednesday of the month at cinemas across the country. The new format includes screenings of thematic films, presentations by experts in social, medical, and spiritual fields as well as live interactions with parents of many children. Participants will discuss the spiritual and moral foundations of the family, state support for motherhood and fatherhood, contemporary challenges in strengthening the institution of the family.

During the meeting, students learned about the provisions of the Belarusian Constitution that protect marriage, family, motherhood, fatherhood, and childhood (Article 32), as well as about the measures of the state program "Development of Demographic Potential." Of particular interest was the discussion of the personal experiences of parents with many children, who have become living examples of the harmonious combination of professional fulfillment and family values.

The next project meetings are scheduled for March 11. Next month, the focus will be on fatherhood: events under the motto "Being Dad is Cool!" will be held at the University of Civil Defense of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Belarus and the Belarusian State University of Physical Education.

The project is being implemented as part of the Year of Belarusian Women and the state demographic policy aimed at strengthening family values ​​and raising the profile of conscious parenting among young people.
