OPENING

On February 3, the grand opening of the International Youth Forum "Sustainable Development by 2100: Forecasts, Vision, Scenarios and Plans" took place in the Picasso conference hall of the Maxima Zarya Hotel. At the opening, Alexander Ivanovich Ageev, Irina Lvovna Osokina, Yuri Valentinovich Sidelnikov and Marco Avilla Kale made a welcoming speech.

Participants from 5 continents met to project a vision for the future. After the opening, the children proceeded to the very first stage - getting to know each other and jointly planning further work: choosing a leader, roles, logo, slogan and a general communication system in the teams.

To work on the main topics of the project, 9 teams (7 face-to-face and 2 online) were created at the Moscow site of the Forum and 7 teams at the site of Ecuador.

And already on the first day, the students began foresight - work on models of the future in key areas: working out the main theses, formulating the problem and studying various materials.

EXCURSION

The next day, a tour of the capital of Russia was organized for the participants – a cultural and educational program "The History of Moscow of the Future" for full-time participants. The participants got acquainted with the Moscow of tomorrow, saw places in the retro-futurism style, innovative, daring and fantastic "monuments of the future" for their time, images of Moscow of the XIX century and compared the ideas of dreamers with reality.

FORESIGHT SESSION

After the tour, the participants continued to work on their projects within the framework of the Foresight Forum: participants from Moscow together with online teams and teams from Ecuador in a teleconference mode with simultaneous translation. Under the guidance of the chief moderator of the Forum, Alexander Ivanovich Ageev, the teams performed tasks to answer the questions posed and immerse themselves in the topic of the Forum.

On February 5, the participants of the Moscow Forum site worked independently in the morning, and after lunch – together with all participants of the Forum from all corners of the earth. In turn, the participants of the Ecuadorian site worked independently, but already in the afternoon local time (- 8 hours from Moscow). Thus, it was possible to conduct communication taking into account the difference in time zones and effectively conduct foresight on two sites at once.

At the joint sessions, the participants of the sites were expected: Strategic Foresight games, which included modeling the future up to 2050 and up to 2100, a Foresight quest "Modeling the overall picture of the future world by 2100", as well as a Strategic Foresight session, where participants presented their projects to the jury.
