The international Open Dialogue "The Future of the World. New Platform for Global Growth" is taking place at the National Centre RUSSIA on April 28.

One of the tracks of the Open Dialogue is "Investments in Human Capital." The pitch session on this topic brought together over 30 speakers.
"The Open Dialogue is a very important platform for bringing people together, and I came here specifically to see what opportunities there are for implementing joint projects. We give the main role to the younger generation. Russia and Zambia are investing in the education of young people, our country finances the education of nearly 150 people studying in Russia. We are doing everything to promote cooperation between the youth of Russia and Africa. I believe that investing in the development of the future of a nation is exactly what today’s event contributes to," said Nalishebo Nyambe, Head of the Global Youth and Leadership Foundation from Zambia.
As a result of the pitch session "Investments in Human Capital," the essayists whose ideas received the highest expert ratings were identified. They have been invited to participate in the panel pitch on April 29.
The best essayists based on the results of the pitch session are: Ismail Sooliman Quaraysha (South Africa), journalist at the Institute for Corporate Citizenship of the University of South Africa; Maxim Luppov (Russia), postgraduate student in the field of "Cultural Sociology" at the National Research Nizhny Novgorod State University named after N.I. Lobachevsky; Jessica Martinez Cruz (Mexico), lecturer at the Autonomous University of Puebla; Ilmira Shikula (Russia), Doctor of Law, Professor of the Department of Integrated Security of Organizations at the Faculty of Integrated Security and Military Training, Russian State Social University; Yelizaveta Romanova (Russia), student at the Russian State Social University; Jakob Pinnecker (Germany), head of the Oka Recruitment Agency.
"In my essay, I proposed rethinking the role of AI in order to expand its usage possibilities. My solution is to make artificial intelligence not just a 'problem solver,' but a strategic partner by redesigning the core structure of the curriculum. I am confident that we can move away from information overload," explained Maxim Luppov, a third-year postgraduate student in the field of "Cultural Sociology" at the National Research Nizhny Novgorod State University named after N.I. Lobachevsky.
Ilmira Shikula, Doctor of Law and Professor of the Department of Integrated Security of Organizations at the Faculty of Integrated Security and Military Training of the Russian State Social University, discussed the topic of children's cybersecurity.
"The effectiveness of protecting children from informational threats is an indicator of the level of development of society and the state as a whole. Protection of children in the online space should now be one of the priorities of national security. It is necessary to introduce criminal liability for cyberbullying and trolling," proposed Ilmira Shikula.
The expert believes that the introduction of these changes will contribute not only to the improvement of the legal system for ensuring the safety of minors but also to the prevention of offenses.
The Open Dialogue gathered 696 works from 102 countries, written in 18 languages, including Pashto, Malagasy, Serbian, and Greek. Following more than 200 online interviews, 101 authors and 24 world-class experts were selected for in-person participation in Moscow. They all represent 48 countries from all continents.
