The two-day roadshow program includes three main areas: educational activities for children and teenagers, lectures and master classes on digital security and tools to combat Internet threats for parents and teachers, and a business program with the participation of Alliance experts, representatives of government agencies and companies of the Republic of Tatarstan and public organizations. The event is organized by the Alliance for the Protection of Children in the Digital Environment and the Competence Center for Global IT Cooperation and supported by the All-Russian public and state movement of children and youth "Movement of the First".
Elizaveta Belyakova, Chair of the Alliance for the Protection of Children in the Digital Environment, welcomed the participants and speakers to the event.
"Thanks for your warm welcome in Kazan. In terms of the development of digital technologies, the Republic of Tatarstan is one of the most advanced in Russia. We still have a lot of work to do together," she said.
The guests of the event were welcomed by Rifkat Minnikhanov, President of the Academy of Sciences of the Republic of Tatarstan, Chairman of the Council of the Association for Promotion of Digital Development.
