Committee for Support of Russian President’s Reforms Proposes a New Model of Humanitarian Cooperation to Friendly Countries
Moscow, 25.02.2026. — The Committee for Support of Russian President’s Reforms has launched an initiative to scale up the successful experience of bilateral cultural and educational cooperation to other friendly nations. The organization has unveiled the concept of an International Center for Culture and Education (ICCE) — a universal platform designed to serve as a bridge for developing humanitarian ties, strengthening trust, and fostering mutual understanding between peoples.
This initiative builds on years of successful experience in implementing Russian-Chinese projects in culture and education, which have proven their effectiveness and gained broad support from both government bodies and the public. The proposed model combines best practices and innovative approaches while remaining flexible and adaptable to the national characteristics and priorities of each partner country.
"In the era of a multipolar world, people's diplomacy and humanitarian cooperation acquire special significance. Culture and education are the universal language capable of uniting people, creating a foundation for long-term trust and mutually beneficial partnership. Our committee, which unites experts and public figures sharing the strategic course of the country's development, considers the development of humanitarian ties as one of the priorities of its activities," noted Mutorov Pavel, Deputy Chairman of the Committee.
Key Areas of Activity of the International Center for Culture and Education:
- Cultural Module: organization of reciprocal exhibitions, festivals, film screenings, tours of creative groups, support for joint projects in arts and literature.
- Educational Module: creation of language campuses at partner schools, implementation of academic mobility programs, organization of international summer and winter schools for youth, university preparation centers.
- Scientific and Technological Module: formation of joint research groups, holding hackathons and competitions for young professionals, support for startups.
- Media and Image Module: assistance in forming an objective and multifaceted image of partner countries in the media space, support for opinion leaders.
An important feature of the proposed model is the principle of parity and reciprocity: the Center's activities involve symmetrical development in both countries, where each side acts simultaneously as both host and contributor. This allows for building truly equal and long-term partnerships.
The Committee for Support of Russian President’s Reforms is open to dialogue with representatives of friendly states interested in developing humanitarian cooperation and is ready to discuss specific formats of interaction adapted to the national priorities and cultural characteristics of potential partners.
