An open discussion titled "The Future of the Family: Involvement, Responsibility, Traditions" will take place at the National Centre RUSSIA as part of the "Inventing the Future" Symposium.

The main focus will be on family values and the upbringing of new generations in the age of digitalization. Experts will address critical issues related to the family’s evolving role in society and new approaches to parenting.

During the discussion, experts will try to define the "ideal" family model of the future and predict family structures future generations might aspire to. They will also examine the transformation of gender roles within the family and changes in the distribution of responsibilities.

The discussion will be moderated by Nikita Pimenov, journalist and host of the "Good Morning" program on Channel One.
