In the lead-up to Cosmonautics Day and the 65th anniversary of the first human spaceflight, a themed lesson was held for sixth-grade students at Novogrudok Secondary School No.1 as part of the «Archives for Schools» campaign.

The exhibition, featuring documents and photographs, tells the story of Yuri Gagarin’s legendary flight into space, the beginning of the space age in human history, famous cosmonauts, including the perpetuation of their memory in the names of Novogrudok streets, and the development of cosmonautics in the Republic of Belarus today.
