Foreign Experts at the “Creating the Future” Symposium Discussed the Future of Education and Cultural Unity

At the international “Creating the Future” symposium held at the National Center “Russia,” foreign participants raised significant issues related to the future of education, cultural unity, and technological progress. The brainstorming session titled “What and How Will We Learn?” emphasized the harmonious development of individuals and society in the context of rapid technological growth.

Suheil Farah, President of the Open University “Dialogue of Civilizations” and a cultural expert, highlighted that the education system, family, and society as a whole should strive to create a model of a highly cultured individual. “We live in a world where different generations, religions, and professions coexist, so to avoid conflicts, children need to be brought up in the spirit of reasonable dialogue and partnership, setting the right example. If every word and action of ours aligns with the word ‘culture,’ then there is a chance we will save the world,” said Suheil Farah.

Futurist and engineer from Spain, José Cordeiro, in his speech, addressed the prospects of technological development, describing the future of humanity as distinct from both our present and past. “Thanks to artificial intelligence, we are transitioning into the first intelligent generation, which will be the smartest that has ever existed. We stand on the brink of incredible possibilities — superintelligence, immortality, and life on multiple planets. This is the future that everyone should aspire to. And I am confident that Russia can become a leading country in this endeavor,” said José Cordeiro.

The dialogue on the future of education and the transformation of human values, in which foreign experts participated, underscored the importance of international cooperation and cultural unity.

The National Center “Russia” was established by order of the President of the Russian Federation, Vladimir Putin, to preserve the legacy of the International Exhibition-Forum “Russia” and showcase the achievements of the country and its citizens on a permanent basis. The center’s activities involve federal government bodies, state companies, corporations, and regions.

The first event at the National Center “Russia” was the international “Creating the Future” symposium, which brought together over 6,000 guests from 101 countries.
