Moscow youth activists, participants in
the car run, will go on a tour of European cities, which are in the
vanguard of technological progress in various spheres of contemporary
society. The car run is designed to develop international youth ties

will join the Muscovites near Smolensk. Then the route will run via
the territory of Belarus through major economic and industrial centers
such as Minsk, Borisov and the biggest free economic zone of Brest.

After crossing the Belarusian-Polish
border, the car convoy will head for Berlin via Warsaw past modern
sport facilities erected specially for the 2012 European Football

which annually attracts representatives of Internet marketing, IT
and corporate communications.

Furthermore, the participants in the
program will head for the city of Munich, in southern Germany, where
the young people will get acquainted with the latest achievements in
IT technologies.

of innovation will be held jointly with local youth and members of
