On Saturday, 7 February, the Plast community in Tasmania gathered to officially mark the beginning of a new Plast year with a day full of activities, learning, and celebration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The program began with drill practice, as participants worked together to strengthen their teamwork and coordination. This was followed by a formal opening assembly, where all age groups were warmly welcomed into the new year with the traditional threefold greetings: \u201cTsip-tsip,\u201d \u201cHotuys!\u201d and \u201cSKOB.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A special moment of the day was the recognition of Kateryna Zemnukhova, who was congratulated on receiving the rank of Plast Senior Member for Service<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Throughout the day, younger participants took part in engaging and educational games. During the game of Kim, novaks and novachky tested their memory skills by recalling Plast-related objects. They also enjoyed the lively game \u201cHey, from Lviv to Mukachevo, from Mukachevo to Kyiv!\u201d<\/em> (with thanks to Andrij Rebryk for sharing it), through which they learned fascinating facts about Ukrainian cities and their connections to significant Plast events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Older youth participated in a virtual drone navigation session, gaining hands-on experience with new technology in an interactive setting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No celebration would be complete without something sweet. Participants enjoyed a cake creatively decorated with the Plast logo by the youngest members, with support from Elena Sirchenko.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The day concluded with a discussion involving parents about plans and goals for Plast Tasmania in the year ahead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The opening of the Plast year set a positive and energetic tone, with everyone looking forward to new knowledge, experiences, and achievements in the months to come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
