The All-Russian Digoria Forum has ended in the Moscow region

The closing ceremony of the VII All-Russian Digoria Forum, which took place over four days at the Senezh Management Workshop, took place in the Moscow Region.

The forum was attended by about 700 young professionals from all over Russia and more than 100 experts. The participants presented more than 200 innovative social projects that will be finalized and implemented in the practice of government programs.

For four days, the participants worked in five areas: "Social Architecture", "Image of the Epoch", "Artificial Intelligence", "Creative Technologies" and "Civic Education". Even before the start of the full-time part of the forum, they were trained as part of a three-day online program. On the last day of the event, a closing ceremony was held, where the best and most promising initiatives were awarded.

"The guys offer really interesting projects that will be used further. Perhaps with some kind of refinement, revision, improvement," said the Director General of the Expert Institute for Social Research Anna Fedulkina.

She also noted that the selection process for the forum is getting tougher every year, and the level of projects is getting higher. Special attention is paid to the works presented within the framework of the national award "Digoria". Many of them are ready to expand after they are introduced into the work of the institute.

Olga Petrova, Deputy Minister of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation, stressed that the forum demonstrates an example of youth social responsibility.

"The guys show by their example what it means to be socially responsible, and what solutions can be proposed in order to bring the future closer by creating meaning," she stressed.

Yuri Leskin, Deputy Head of Rosmolodezh, drew attention to the need for continuous training in modern conditions. According to him, the state cannot simply look for answers to citizens' requests — it must anticipate them.

"In this regard, the Digoria platform helps to form a community of social change leaders who can implement large-scale projects that meet the needs of today and even tomorrow," Leskin said.

The founder of the forum, Zaurbek Khugaev, told about the history of the creation of the site, which began as an initiative of young paleontologists in the mountains of North Ossetia. Now the forum is being held in different regions of the country with the support of the federal authorities.
