What was your inspiration for taking part in the project?

Alexandra Varlamova:

"I am here for personal development, to learn and teach myself something new. I joined this project to gain new experience."

Dinara Dinbagandova:

"My incentive for taking part in the competition is the fact that I am, myself, a part of the young generation, and I take very much to heart not only my own problems, but also those of the other people. To me, this project is a way to immerse myself into the world of other people and understand them better."

Have you ever been a part of any of the subcultures you are talking about? If no, what would you say to starting one yourself?

Alexandra Varlamova:

"We had no experience with any subcultures, and I believe that joining such groups can even get in the young people's way of becoming cultured and educated members of our society!"

Dinara Dinbagandova:

"In my life, there has been no experience of belonging to any subcultures. Over the years, I have taken up a lot of hobbies, but never stack to them long enough. Therefore, I don't think it's in my power to start a subculture myself, because my interests change too quickly."

You have rightfully mentioned the importance of psychological support, whether from therapists or from one's friends and relatives. What does "support" mean to you personally, though? How would you like to be supported in difficult times?

Alexandra Varlamova:

"For me, the whole idea of support is to understand what actions your friend, your loved one, or your child needs and expects from you right now. What I would personally like to experience in a difficult moment is the assistance and help from the people who are close to me, as this would make me feel safe and loved by the world around me!"

Dinara Dinbagandova:

"In my understanding, 'support' has no universal recipe, it's much more complex and ambivalent. Sometimes it's as simple as someone's presence nearby, sometimes it's the words spoken, and sometimes, on the contrary, it's the absence of all of the above. But it always involves someone mentally sharing their inner strength with the person in need."
