The VII All-Russian Digoria Forum has opened

On November 18, the VII All–Russian Digoria Forum started in the Senezh Management Workshop of the Presidential Platform "Russia - the Land of Opportunities". The site brought together 100 of the best young scientists of the socio-humanitarian profile and practitioners of the socio-political sphere, as well as representatives of the creative and technological industries, to develop projects that will contribute to solving specific government tasks, developing society and the country.

Today, professions of a social and humanitarian profile are becoming strategic for Russia, said Sergey Kiriyenko, First Deputy Head of the Presidential Administration of Russia, during the Opening Ceremony of the Forum. Such experts resist attempts to deprive the country of its valuable sovereignty.

For four days, participants will work 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 the three-day online program "Digoria: Workshop of Meanings", where the heads of the directions and invited experts immersed the participants in the details of the upcoming work, as well as commented on the best initiatives that will become full-fledged projects by the end of the Forum. In addition to group work, participants will enjoy an extensive lecture program, meetings with leading federal experts and representatives of government authorities.

Digoria is becoming not just a semantic platform, but also an entire ecosystem of support for participants and their projects, from idea to implementation. A striking example of this approach is the Digoria Workshop of Political Education, created on the basis of the Senezh Management Workshop in the spring of this year. The Workshop concept was developed by the participants of the previous Forum, and the best of them were employed and continued working on the project. Over the past year, the Workshop has conducted four educational intensive courses for different target audiences, and also served as the architect of the Unity shift at the Territory of Meanings All-Russian Youth Forum. Andrey Betin, General Director of the Presidential Platform "Russia – the Land of Opportunities", Rector of the Senezh Management Workshop, noted: "We expect the forum participants to take a non-trivial view of modern socio-political processes. I am sure that the projects created on our site will definitely be implemented and will benefit the country. As always, Senezh is an open environment for leaders whose energy, knowledge and determination are aimed at protecting and strengthening our Fatherland. And the growing community of Digoria graduates is a team capable of leading the country to new victories."

The Forum provides participants with extensive opportunities for personal and professional development. All this is provided by the ecosystem of the Digoria Platform, which will be fully presented at the event. Thus, the Digoria Workshop of Political Education will hold a meeting of participants with recognized experts, as well as a strategic session, following which participants will offer their vision of the challenges and images of the future. As part of the work of the Center for the Implementation of Projects of a social and humanitarian profile of the State University of Management, young specialists will take part in the team-building events "Trajectories of Consent" and "Battle of Wits". An important and traditional part of the program will be interviews with leading organizations in the socio-political sphere, organized by the Career Center Polit.Job, as well as personal career consultations at the Assessment Center.

"We are interested in the comprehensive development of our participants, as they are subsequently recommended for various positions in the socio-political sphere. Without exaggeration, the future of our country depends on what knowledge and competencies we develop in them. Therefore, I would like the participants to receive not only ideas, impressions and acquaintances from the Forum, but also quite measurable results – participation in projects under development, understanding of their development trajectories, and, eventually, new work and specific proposals for further activities," said Zaurbek Khugaev, head of the Digoria Platform.
