A collection of the best essays from the Open Dialogue "The Future of the World. New Platform for Global Growth" is preparing for release
As part of the Open Dialogue "The Future of the World. New Platform for Global Growth," 696 authors from 102 countries have submitted their essays. Experts are already working on selecting the best texts, creating a short list for publication.
The selected essays will be included in a special collection, which will be available both in print and online.
"The overwhelming majority of the essays will be published in the collection in English. For example, if an essay is submitted in Pashto, and we have such an essay, there will be a QR code at the bottom. By scanning this QR code, readers who wish to read it in Pashto can access the original version of the essay. We have received very interesting, deep, vivid, and unexpected works," said the Director General of the National Centre RUSSIA, Natalia Virtuozova.
The authors of the best works will have the opportunity to participate in person in the events of the Open Dialogue from April 28 to 30, 2025, at the National Centre RUSSIA.
