Youth Laboratory for the New World Order 🌏 📍On 16 September, at the International Festival of Youth – 2026, MGIMO hosted the “Youth Laboratory for the New World Order” project session. Together with representatives from different countries and professional backgrounds, participants explored today’s key challenges before moving from discussion to developing their own projects and initiatives. Among those speaking on the future and today’s challenges were: 🟦Abdelrahman Eliraki, PhD student at MGIMO and analyst specializing in Arab-Russian relations 🟦Farida Gafarova, Board Member of the Russian Association for the United Nations (RAS UN), Head of MGIMO’s Competence Center for Value Sovereignty 🟦Dmitry Kalinin, Chief Specialist in the International Relations Department of the Ministry of International and Foreign Economic Relations of the Sverdlovsk Region 🟦Denis Kazantsev, Deputy Chairman of the MGIMO Law Club ➡️Then came the team work. Participants split into four groups, each working with an expert on one of the challenges identified. In 30 minutes, the teams had to define the problem more precisely, identify the target audience, propose a project solution, and outline the expected outcome. ✅At the end, each team presented its initiative to the room. Experts then gave feedback, highlighted promising ideas, and offered advice on how to develop them further. Most importantly, participants didn’t just discuss the key challenges of the future — they tried to turn ideas into concrete projects and mechanisms for international cooperation. ❤️Thank you to the experts and everyone who took part for the open dialogue, active engagement, and ideas that could well lay the groundwork for new international projects and partnerships! 🌐 MGIMO International (ENG) | МГИМО для иностранцев (RUS)
