A volunteer team from the Protocol and Corporate Services function in Kazan has launched the "Expanding Horizons" project – for teenagers aged 14–16 who are receiving social services. The project has received grant support from SIBUR's "Formula for Good Deeds" social investment programme and became a winner of the 13th competition for volunteer initiatives.
</p>
<p>
The meetings take place in SIBUR's eco-pavilion on Serov Boulevard – an area that was renovated in 2025 and where the company supported the environmental rehabilitation of the lake. During the first meeting, participants attended a lecture titled "The Second Life of Plastic" and played an intellectual game about sorting and recycling.
</p>
<p>
The eco-pavilion on Serov Boulevard has become a space where teenagers can ask questions comfortably, work in a team, and explore the topic through clear examples. The discussion on ecology is conducted through practical activities: what types of plastic exist, why sorting is necessary, and what recycled materials can become after processing. The programme included engaging and educational tasks.
</p>
<p>
<b>Danil, a student from School No. 62:</b><br>
"I found the crossword task the most interesting, although I guessed the main word – 'plastic' – right from the start."
</p>
<p>
Elizaveta highlighted the educational part about polymers and recycling, while Vlad, a first-year student at Kazan Polytechnic College, viewed the topic through the lens of his future profession as a welder: "The tasks were interesting; now I'd like to visit the production facility itself."
</p>
<p>
The organisers plan to hold similar meetings for teenagers from several districts of Kazan.
</p>
<p>
<b>Maria Gaynetdinova, representative of the organising team:</b><br>
"The children are actively engaging with the thematic lectures, asking questions, and completing tasks. In this way, we plan to foster interest among the younger generation in caring for nature."
</p>
<p>
For the volunteers, this is a continuation of work that began earlier: in 2024, the first introductory meetings took place, and social educators noted the teenagers' interest in internships, preparation for the Unified State Exam (USE), and SIBUR's career guidance tracks. This feedback became the foundation for scaling the initiative.
</p>
<p>
The "Expanding Horizons" project is just one example of systematic volunteer work. In total, in 2026, as part of the 13th volunteer project competition, SIBUR's grant support was awarded to 90 initiatives in 24 cities where the company operates. Nizhnekamsk led in the number of applications, while the most popular focus area was "Social Protection", accounting for 24% of all ideas.
