The project pushes the creative potential of the children in Stolipinovo. Students organized at the Young Researchers' Club study and select materials for the photo exhibition "The neighborhood near the town" from family albums, newspapers, archives. Children in the Club record memories of the neighborhood's history and personal stories, and make maps of the neighborhood. Under the guidance of a professional photographer, children participate in all stages of the exhibition. Discussions and a series of theoretical and practical photographic workshops accompany the project.
