Environmental conservation, urban development, and the fight against COVID-19 are the main tracks of the Russia–Central Asian Region Forum of Young Leaders, which is being held in Russia for the first time.
The Forum of Young Leaders "Russia – Central Asian Region" has been held in the Omsk region since November 16 and gathered more than two hundred participants from Russia, Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, and Kyrgyzstan at the regional Congress Hall. The day before, they had a city tour and a networking session, and today a two-day business program began. The start of the international event was given by the Governor of the Omsk region Alexander Burkov.
The head of the region noted that peace and prosperity are based on friendship between peoples of different countries, and the strongest friendship begins in youth and, of course, in student years.
Chi Fan, Deputy Executive Secretariat of the Conference on Interaction and Confidence-building Measures in Asia, also wished excellent work to the forum participants. She noted that cooperation between the youth of the CAR countries is an important factor in the sustainable development of states.
The forum's work is taking place in three areas, including urbanism, ecology, and the fight against the coronavirus pandemic. All these are relevant topics that modern youth are working on.
The Forum participants will receive master classes, sessions and project workshops, as well as an acceleration program involving the creation of social projects in the field of territorial development.
Experts will conduct master classes on social design, transformation of social projects in the field of territorial development into small businesses, and moderators will accompany participants in building their personal initiatives.
