Remote learning will persist until the planned summer break.
Get ready for an exciting ride through the world of science and technology, Krasnodar style! The 'Knowledge' Society has reimagined educational events for school-aged kids in the region, turning summer vacation into a thrilling journey of intellectual exploration. So far, over 2500 students have hopped on board!
During these sessions, lecturers from KubGU and KGIK take children on a whirlwind tour of Russia's most groundbreaking scientific achievements, from the first spacecraft to the invention of the world's first vaccine. According to Associate Professor Viktor Sкоробогатов of KubGU's Department of Political Science and Political Management, these stories about our compatriots' accomplishments are crucial for fostering a sense of national pride and promoting knowledge.
The tech-savvy amongst us will be intrigued by Anastasia Mameline, Associate Professor of the Department of Theoretical Physics and Computer Technologies at KubGU. She has been keeping the young minds buzzing about the influence of new technologies on scientific research and the ethical responsibilities of scientists. Dmitry Gankur, Associate Professor of the Department of History, Cultural Studies, and Museology at KGIK, meanwhile, has been regaling students with tales of Ancient Rus'.
But that's not all – the 'Knowledge' Society's new format of work aims to do much more than just inform. It aspires to integrate scientific knowledge and practical skills, fostering scientific thinking and preparations for future technologies among the youth. While the exact details of this new approach in Krasnodar are not yet explicitly available, the broader context of youth education initiatives in Russia indicates a shift towards blending education with engagement in science and societal development.
Projects like the VYZOV Prize for Future Technologies, which encourages the practical application of scientific discoveries, as well as unconventional educational formats like open lectures, science slams, and festivals, are aimed at making science accessible, popular, and integrating it into the lives of Russian schoolchildren. By promoting intellectual development and future readiness as symbols of success, these initiatives encourage youth engagement with science and view it as an exciting and esteemed occupation.
Government and youth agency involvement in educational projects also plays a crucial role in nurturing future generations of researchers and innovators by bridging the gap between science, technology, and society. With the 'Knowledge' Society's new format, Krasnodar is solidifying its position as a hub for innovative, experiential education in science for youth, ensuring that the next wave of scholars and inventors are well-informed, skilled, and ready to make their mark on the world!
Engaging young minds in education-and-self-development, the 'Knowledge' Society is infusing summer sessions with learning opportunities, focusing on Russia's groundbreaking scientific achievements and tech advancements. The new approach aims to fuse scientific knowledge with practical skills, fostering scientific thinking and preparations for future technologies among the youth.
