The Russian Society "Knowledge" presented the educational program of the International RUSSIA EXPO
The Russian Society "Knowledge" presented to journalists a large-scale educational program of the International RUSSIA EXPO that is organized under the Decree of President Vladimir Putin and will be opened on November 4, 2023 at VDNH. The presentation took place on October 13 in the TASS press center, and was attended by representatives of the Russian Ministry of Education and ANO «Directorate of the Exhibition of Achievements "Russia"».
The Russian
Society "Knowledge" has become the general partner of the educational
program of the International RUSSIA EXPO, where the main achievements of our
state in the XXI century will be presented. The events of the educational
program will allow Russians and foreign guests to see how the successes in
various fields of science and technology over the past 20 years have improved
the quality of people's lives.
According
to Maxim Dreval, General Director of the Russian Society "Knowledge",
32 partners are also involved in the preparation of the educational track of
the Exposition - these are profile ministries, autonomous non-profit
organizations, youth associations and large corporations, including the
Ministry of Education of Russia, the Ministry of Science and Higher Education
of the Russian Federation, Rosmolodezh, Roscosmos and Rosatom, Sber and Russian
Railways, Russian movement of children and youth "Movement of the
First", the presidential platform "Russia - a Land of
Opportunities", the Presidential Foundation for Cultural Initiatives and
others.
As part of
the Exposition, the country's largest educational organization together with
its partners will organize seven lectures in the pavilions of VDNH, that will
cover a wide range of issues related to Russia's modern achievements in various
spheres will. The flagship lecture hall of the Russian Society
"Knowledge" will be located in pavilion 57 "Russia - My
History". There will be an interactive educational exposition
"Labyrinth of Knowledge" dedicated to the groundbreaking inventions
that were made in our country and changed the world.
Also, this
pavillion will host the educational marathon of the Russian Society
"Knowledge" - Knowledge.First, that will start on the opening day of
the Exposition at VDNH and will be held on November 4-6. The marathon will be
conceptually integrated into the theme of the Exposition at VDNH, where each
letter in the word "Russia" has a certain meaning. Following the same
logic, six marathon tracks are planned. The main topic for discussion will be
the current achievements of our country and its citizens, which contribute to
the development of Russia and increase its prestige in the international arena.
Registration for the marathon is still open, until October 20 there is a chance
to become a full-time participant of the program.
The
audience can expect a lot of interesting things in each of the Exposition
lecture halls. For example, pavilion 32-34 "Space" will host space
lessons with a live broadcast from the Russian ISS. In pavilion 19
"Atom" visitors will be able to feel, literally feel with their skin,
what happens inside an atom. An installation in the "Atom" pavilion
will translate scientific terms into visuals to make it easier to understand
what they mean.
Each week
of the educational program will be devoted to a specific topic. The topics
include Russia's achievements, tourism and hospitality industry, traditional
spiritual and moral values, science and technology, culture and art, sports and
healthy lifestyle.
"We
have planned more than 5,500 performances in six months. It seems to me that no
one in the world has ever done a program of this scale, we are the first, and
this is another achievement, - said Maxim Dreval. -The program has a certain
architecture. Every week we have tried to arrange the focus so as to give all
participants an opportunity to immerse themselves in the key industries, areas
of achievements and key holidays that fall on the dates of the Exposition. It's
done so that there will always be an interest to come back again, meaning that
each week there will be a new theme, new focuses, and new events. In the coming
days, we will publish a specific schedule and give the opportunity to book seats
in the halls".
The
Educational Week will already take place in October - it is a training program
for teachers from general educational institutions, secondary vocational
education and supplementary education organizations of Moscow and the Moscow
Region, who will conduct excursion lessons at the VDNH grounds for
schoolchildren and students. At least a thousand teachers will take part in the
educational program and conduct excursion lessons for 25 thousand students. To
join the team of teachers-excursion guides, you need to register on the website
