Further development of civil society was discussed at the RUSSIA EXPO

On June 13, Pavilion No. 75 hosted the panel discussion "Civil Society: Achievements and Development Plans", where the creation of a platform for interaction and experience exchange between public and non-profit organizations, as well as volunteers, was discussed.

Participants included representatives from the executive and legislative branches, as well as heads of charitable foundations. The discussion was moderated by Vladimir Vayner, Director of the Gladway Foundation for the Development of Media Projects and Social Programs.

State Duma Deputy, Chairman of the State Duma Committee on Youth Policy and Chairman of the Council of the Dobro.ru Association, Artem Metelev, spoke about the organization, highlighting its high level of digitalization.

"For us, there are no personal goals; we work solely for the benefit of our state's development. This, in my opinion, is the productive key to the development of civil society," stated Artem Metelev.

In turn, Yakov Samokhvalov, Head of the Public Relations Department of the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Area - Yugra, shared the regional experience of implementing the "Dobrino" program.

"Our mission is to change the behavioral norms of social relationships through advanced training and working with the values of opinion leaders and employees of the civil society development institute. We have online courses, in-person forum programs, acceleration programs, in-person seminars and lectures, and the development of comprehensive programs. I would like to note that 800 people have already undergone training under the 'Dobrino' program. Among them, about 60% are graduates of educational and outreach programs who have entered the post-support system," said Yakov Samokhvalov.

He added that this program helps to develop mature and responsible citizens of their Motherland.
