Participants from all Ukraine took part in the Final of Studrespublika. The emphasis was on organizational-activity game, in which experts along with activists in the mode of intense debate produced various scenarios for the future of Ukraine, bringing with them the positive concepts and scenarios.
During the opening the welcoming speech to Studrespublika was pronounced by leader of the RepublicansPavlo Viknyanskyy, who said that the country needs immediate upgrading, which can make only young, progressive, intelligence Ukrainians, which really care about the future of our country. And here, at the Final of Studrespublika, they work towards a positive scenarios of the future, because it is a positive belief in the future we need.

Organizational activity game reflected the mood of the Ukrainian society and major trends:
an agrarian super-state, that focuses not only on the production of grain, but in the deep processing of it, as food production. Ukraine is able to independently provide 500 million people around the world a complete diet and it is our undeniable advantage that we just started using. Development potential in this area is really very significant;
electronic governance as the basis of the domestic IT market and the transition from outsourcing to create their own production software. Ukraine has about 100 thousand technical experts whose level of preparation is a very high and the potential of IT can be one of the key sectors of the economy;
several groups discussed the issues of development of Ukraine and offered to focus more comprehensive not only on IT but also on the development of mechanical engineering, which is in a difficult situation due to the loss of Russian market, but reoriented from the region to the world as a whole;
among others — was created a party of peace and party of war. They claimed that the modernization of Ukraine is impossible without end of the war, because it is first necessary to concentrate resources on how to end the conflict and with it were offered two radically opposite approaches to solving this problem: active attack on war to win the last Ukrainian or… sell Crimea and East Ukraine to Russia.
There was also sounded the approach to the problem of war as a bet on a strong authoritarian leader to establish order and realize the script of a powerful military-patriotic education of the nation as the basis for a strong state. However, the aggressive militaristic approach has not passed through the crucible of the game, dominating most of the youth in the Final of Studrespublika convinced to finding peace formula (certainly without civil humiliation).
Further development of the game has created two concepts, which can positively modernize Ukraine: 1. science and youth — the foundation of the future of Ukraine, with such approach party of winners had advocated. The position launched from mega-group of the left was based on the development of innovative production and support of young people to create real innovation production in Ukraine;
2. libertarian approach that offers total freedom of man in all forms, be it a business that should get minimum tax, state interference, the life of LGBT representatives, sale of soft drugs, legalization of prostitution. Such pervasive freedom can create all the necessary conditions for a comfortable life of Ukrainian.
As a result of the game there has developed a common position of groups that are conceptually agreed on the directions of development of Ukraine. The final presentations of developments of active Republicans were presented on the big stage during the closing ceremony of Studrespublika.
