CONCEPT AND OBJECTIVES OF THE MEETING
Concept
In the Year of Unity of the Peoples of Russia, cultural heritage, traditions and historical memory become an effective resource for personal development. Public diplomacy through cultural exchanges, exhibitions and joint projects strengthens mutual understanding between peoples and passes traditional values on to the younger generation.
Objectives:
- Develop practical recommendations for incorporating cultural heritage into educational programs.
- Summarize successful cases of people’s diplomacy (including ISW projects, exhibitions at the UN and UNESCO) and propose mechanisms for scaling them.
- Utilize the existing platform of the International Forum “Woman of the Third Millennium” to unite the efforts of the state, experts, educators, cultural figures and entrepreneurs in the field of education through culture.
KEY DISCUSSION POINTS
- Cultural heritage as an educational resource – the use of traditional holidays, crafts, national costumes, folklore and historical memory in educational and extracurricular activities, as well as in the digital environment for intergenerational transmission.
- Public diplomacy and international cultural exchanges – formats of people’s diplomacy (cultural centers, festivals of Russian regions, online exhibitions, clubs of compatriots), successful project models (ISW, “Embassy Life”, “VISION 3000” club), barriers and ways to overcome them.
- Personality formation through historical memory and traditional values – effective tools for patriotic education (volunteering, search movement, school museums), harmonization of universal and national values, scaling up the personal example of leaders.
- Role of business and public organizations in education through culture – corporate and private initiatives (grants, scholarships, cultural projects), mechanisms of public-private partnership.
