The events of September 1939 rectified the historical injustice of the Treaty of Riga, which had divided Belarus into Western and Eastern parts. The country’s territory regained its integrity and returned to the path of its centuries-old historical tradition. Conditions for building a new life were established in the liberated lands of Western Belarus. From that time on, national unity served as the foundation for further national and state development and progress.

To conclude the event, a film screening and lecture were held for the school staff, featuring the film «Independence Day: A Chronicle of Belarusian Statehood», produced by the Archive of Film, Photo, and Sound Documents.
