What do you really know about Russia beyond Moscow and St. Petersburg? 💫

On September 15, InteRussia joined the International Festival of Youth in Yekaterinburg with a session organised in partnership with the Gorchakov Fund.

Vasily Pushkov, Director of International Cooperation at Sputnik International News Agency and Radio

He spoke about common perceptions of Russia’s regions — and how different they can be from everyday reality.

How do we move beyond them? By travelling, meeting people and experiencing places first-hand.

The conversation then turned to another way of building connections — joint projects.

⭕️ Natalya Alieva, Director for Partnership Projects Development and Regional Cooperation at the Presidential Grants Foundation, announced the launch of a new grant competition for international participants.

Have an idea of your own? The competition supports projects in three areas:

🔵 biodiversity research, conservation and environmental education;

🔵 parent, family and patient communities and networks of mutual support;

🔵digital content about science, culture and everyday life.

Perhaps your idea could become the next international project?
