Ekaterina Priezzheva, President of the Association of Children's Goods Industry
Enterprises Antonina Tsitsulina, Chairman of the Federation Council Committee

The Golden
Teddy Bear annual contest is organized by the Association of Children's Goods
Industry Enterprises with the support of the Federation Council and the
Ministry of Industry and Trade of Russia. Over this time, it has become the
main industry award in the country.
According
to Liliya Gumerova, Chairman of the Federation Council Committee on Science,
Education and Culture, the Golden Teddy Bear contest motivates domestic manufacturers
to create quality children's goods.
"I
would like to take this opportunity to thank all those who work in the field of
children's industry - it is a very important and noble cause. In the Year of
the Family in Russia, special attention is paid to the issues of providing our
young citizens with high-quality Russian games and toys, clothes, baby food,
furniture, books, stationery that meet the highest standards. Under the
conditions of unprecedented sanctions, we have increased both the quality and
the range of domestic goods for children in a number of areas. This corresponds
to the solution of the tasks that were set during the meeting of the
Presidential Council on the implementation of state policy in the field of
family and child protection, dedicated to the support of the children's goods
industry," said the senator.
According
to Antonina Tsitsulina, President of the Association of Children's Goods
Industry Enterprises, this season of the Golden Teddy Bear award, there were
many projects related to innovations, interesting design solutions, and the use
of our cultural heritage.
"This
year we had a very strong, interdisciplinary expertise. At the stage of public
defenses of the projects in front of the scientific-expert council, the
developers and product creators spoke in detail about the values of the
projects, in terms of philosophy, sociology, psychology, pedagogy, and design.
We want the winners of the Golden Teddy Bear award, our domestic producers, to
be known in all regions of the country. In particular, so that their products
are known and loved by our children, for whose sake and in whose name we
work," emphasized Antonina Tsitsulina.
The
Ministry of Education of Russia is working on creating a safe development
environment for kindergartens, with the participation of various organizations,
and plans to further expand the children's goods industry until 2030, said
Denis Gribov, Deputy Minister of Education of the Russian Federation.
"The Ministry of Education of Russia with the participation of the Association of Children's Goods Industry, the Ministry of Industry and Trade of Russia and Rospotrebnadzor prepared recommendations on the formation of infrastructure and completing educational and methodological materials for kindergartens. We are now studying the practice of their effective use in creating a safe development subject-space environment for kindergartens. Also, the Ministry of Education of Russia is preparing proposals for the action plan for the development of the children's goods industry for 2025-2030," he said.
