A session titled ‘Dream Today, Reality Tomorrow’ focused on human development has taken place in Moscow as part of the event
Around 80 young students have taken part in a discussion on how to attract more people to science. The session took place on Tuesday as part of the ‘Inventing the Future’ symposium in Moscow.
Suggestions put forward during the ‘Dream Today, Reality Tomorrow’ session included introducing science lessons in kindergarten, using visual presentations about scientists in schools, and the creation of a dedicated digital platform.
“We should listen intently to the youth, to their suggestions and ideas, and then implement the most productive ones. Our children are unique! I’m proud of them!” said Artur Orlov, the leader of ‘The Movement of the First’, as quoted on the event’s website.
The movement, which was set up in Russia in 2022, organizes educational and leisure activities for children and young people. Many of those who took part in the event are members of the organization.
“Today I saw that our future volunteers of science… are passionate, they have a glint of enthusiasm in their eyes,” said Russian Deputy Education Minister Olga Petrova.
Tuesday’s session demonstrated that young people are interested in science, according to Anastasia Zvyagina, deputy director of the ‘Russia’ National Center, where the forum is taking place.
More science-related events are planned for next year to enable young people to realize their potential, she added.
The ‘Inventing the Future’ symposium is taking place from November 4 to 6 in Moscow, with representatives of more than 100 countries in attendance.
