Business city
Business City has been held annually since 2013 in the Verkhnepyshminskaya school named after Martirosyan S.A. The business game "Business City" was created by students of the boarding school with the support of WHITE CANE NGO.
The essence of the game is modeling the socio-economic environment of a modern city. As part of the game, each participant can provide a certain socially significant service to the residents of a business city and demonstrate the competencies of an organizer, entrepreneur, mentor, specialist and consumer. In the process of preparing for the game, everyone who wants to take part in it will have the opportunity to listen to master classes that form knowledge and skills, which will allow participants to successfully implement individual projects within the game. The innovation and uniqueness of the project is that students of schools and vocational schools, including those with disabilities, receive special competencies and social skills in business management.

The main objective of the "Business City" project is to find a business that is interesting in all respects and stimulate the social and business activity of students with and without disabilities
According to the Federal State Statistics Service for 2020, 10.9 million citizens with disabilities are registered in Russia, of which 704,496 people are children, 144,840 are aged 15 to 17 years.
The number of disabled people of working age is 3.848 million people. (26.33%), of which only 1.013 million people work. (https://sfri.ru/analitika). Low employment rates, including in the field of business and entrepreneurship, are explained by many reasons: lack of professional knowledge, education, socially significant personal qualities, fear of entering the “open” labor market, unwillingness to interact in the conditions of performing work duties, insufficient awareness of people people with disabilities and their environment about modern opportunities and technologies for working in an inclusive professional environment, low motivation for employment.

The "Business City" project is offered to schoolchildren, applicants, students and everyone who is interested in playing a role-playing business game, during which everyone can try their hand at their favorite business. The game consists of two stages:
At the first stage, the player attends various master classes from massage and hairdressing to business consulting and marketing. The participant of the game has a unique opportunity to try himself in many areas and understand what profession he really has a soul for.
As part of this stage, simulation games "Coaching Pro", "tada-tada", "carousel of the gods", etc. are held, which form in the players such qualities as responsibility, friendliness, mobility and dynamism of thinking, as well the world around and specifically to their work. We believe that the "Professional of the Future" possesses precisely such qualities.

In the second stage, the player, who has already received certain basic skills within the first stage, opens his own business: a cafe, a beauty salon, a cinema, a psychological assistance center and other companies.
During the second stage, the task of the director is to organize the work of his company, hire employees, launch an advertising company for his business and try to earn the maximum possible amount of the Delgor game currency.
"Delgoras" participants earn during the first and second stages: by participating in master classes, completing game quests offered by the mayor's office of the Business City, becoming the most active citizen of the month, etc. During the whole game, the participant himself decides who he should be: a client, an employee or a director. Upon completion of the second stage, the competent jury selects the best companies and the best directors, who are awarded valuable prizes and cash prizes.
