Slavic Family Forum brings together about 500 participants

The Slavic Family Forum was held in Minsk. The spiritual and educational project gathered about half a thousand participants from all over Belarus, as well as from Russia.

The forum brought together representatives of authorities, ministries and departments, clergymen, scientists and public organizations. The program was large scale: there was a common prayer and awarding of large families, plenary sessions and thematic round tables, opening of an exhibition and a concert program.

"Slavic Family Forum" is a part of numerous events dedicated to the 1030th anniversary of Orthodoxy in the Belarusian lands. In honor of the big date, the Belarusian Exarchate awarded 7 multi-child families.

The "Slavic Forum" opens a series of events dedicated to the family including a holiday project "Respect. Care. Responsibility" timed to the Elderly People's Day. On October 14, Belarusians will celebrate Mothers' Day and on October 21, for the first time in our history, the state holiday, Fathers' Day, will be celebrated.
