Dysnai is a camping on the Glade nearby Lithuanian Dysnai lake (30 km from Visaginas – a satellite-town of Ignalina NPP), a kind of show in the forest that lasts for seven days each year.
[edit] History
The first festival of young nuclear operators called "Dysnai" was held in 1988. Since that time every year boys and girls who work at nuclear enterprises, nuclear power plants (NPP) or live in satellite-towns of NPP have been coming to the same place in Lithuania in the first week of July. They participate not only as individuals but as teams too - delegations from Russia, Ukraine, Lithuania, Central and Western Europe (representatives from Belgium, Bulgaria, Germany, Great Britain, Hungary, Romania, Slovakia, Sweden etc.).
[edit] Summary
The Program usually consists of the Opening Panel on the Glade (welcoming speeches, flags rising, introduction of participants, fireworks etc.), the Symposium, Young Specialist Day, an excursion to interesting places of Lithuania, Technical Tour to Ignalina NPP and different youth games on Festival Glade.
That form of youth policy deals not only with professional purposes (there are some other procedures) but with establishing of human contacts, a kind of "human diplomacy". It's a dialogue of colleagues divided by state borders but having high professional potential and united by the same job and fortune. Such policy is supported by NPP' administration, welcomed by plant's personnel, press and public opinion thanks to the festival spirit of friendship and coexistence.
