Kazan schoolchildren will be taught the basics of housing and communal services in a game format

"Our work is your comfort", under this name, an interactive educational quest for Kazan schoolchildren on the basics of housing and communal services will start in Tatarstan in December.

1.5 thousand students of grades 3-4 will take part in the educational project. The project is being implemented on the initiative of the Ministry of Construction of the Republic of Tatarstan, as well as with the support of the Education Department of the Executive Committee of Kazan.

During the quest, students will learn in a playful way about the work of housing and communal services, the importance of this area in everyone's life, why it is necessary to conserve resources and take care of the work of housing and communal services. They will also explain to children the need to pay for housing and communal services, how the amounts for their payment are formed, what tariffs are, how to fill out a receipt correctly, how to take meter readings, why it is important to count the resources consumed and much more.

In addition, participants of the training quest will be offered to discuss the problematic situation: what happens if, for some reason, there is no heat, water, electricity in the house, garbage is not taken out and the roof is not repaired?

Marat Aizatullin - Minister of Construction, Architecture and Housing and Communal Services of the Republic of Tatarstan:

"This game course was created with the aim of explaining to children the value of the work of housing and communal services workers, increasing their literacy level, as well as affirming their common human values: helping parents, respect for the work of other people, kindness, hard work. The game format will allow them to study such a difficult topic in an accessible way and lay down the necessary knowledge."

At the end of the game, each child will receive a memo with useful information on the topic of housing and communal services, which will be useful for both children and their parents.
