The schoolchildren saw unique archival photographs, documents, equipment and devices that were used by power engineers in their work over the years. Using the interactive map, the guests were demonstrated the gradual electrification of the region since the creation in 1958 of the District Energy Office "Kurskenergo". From the materials placed on the stands of the museum, the children also learned about the valiant and labour feats of the power engineers in the Great Patriotic War.
A representative of Kurskenergo’s Veterans’ Council Nikolay Ryazantsev told the schoolchildren that in the early days of the war at the front 147 Kursk power engineers were mobilized. They fought in the Moscow region and in the Arctic, in Stalingrad and at the Kursk Bulge, participated in the liberation of the Baltic states, Poland, Czechoslovakia, and many came to Berlin.
Continuing the military theme, the young guests were shown a film based on the poem by Aleksandr Tvardovsky "Vasili Tyorkin" within the historical and patriotic project of IDGC of Centre "Power engineers reading a book about the war".
The guests learned activities of the operating personnel of Kurskenergo at the Grid Control Centre. The head of the operation and technology service of Kurskenergo Roman Dryuchin told them about tasks faced by operators, providing the GCC work around the clock, modern technologies that allow on-line to track the movement of operational crews and performance by specialists of planned work, promptly take necessary decisions at an unscheduled situation.
The event ended with a meeting with the head of the HR department of Kurskenergo Lyudmila Mokrousova. She told the future power engineers on the conditions of work in the branch, about the possibilities of professional career growth and self-realization, social guarantees stipulated by the collective agreement of the company.
