On November 29 at the opening of the forum participants were greeted by the Director of the Department of State Youth Policy of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation Denis Valerievich Ashirov, the Deputy Chairman of the Committee for Youth, Sports and Tourism of the Republic of Tajikistan Nazarov Mekhrubon Nazarovich and the Chairman of the National Youth Council of Russia Grigory Valerievich Petushkov.
Participants of the forum were young people from 18 to 35 years old. They were representatives of youth public organizations, young leaders, university students, representatives of structures implementing youth policy in Russia and Tajikistan.
The main topics of the forum were the prospects for the development of youth tourism in Russia and Tajikistan, bilateral socially significant projects, the prospects and problems of volunteering in countries, the adaptation of students from Tajikistan in Russian universities and increasing the importance of youth exchange between Russia and Tajikistan as a whole. Participants of the event expressed their interest in the proposal to hold such forums through student interaction and youth media as well as to expand youth exchange within the framework of digitalization.
As part of the case session “How educational tourism shapes the skills of the future” Mostourism presented innovative educational and tourism projects. The uniqueness of projects lies in the innovative methodology of the program, which allows changing the role model of the child’s behaviour from a passive listener of classical linear excursions to a proactive researcher who studies the city space through immersion in various industries, spheres and sectors of economy.
