CIS International Relations Fellowship: Empowering Future Political Leaders ✨

In October, a vibrant group of young specialists in international relations from the CIS countries came together for an immersive InteRussia fellowship programme. During this time, they dove deep into the complexities of global affairs, developed new professional and research skills, and formed enduring connections.

To make this experience so impactful, our fellows:

🤪 gained expert insights on academic methodology, crafting their own research projects;
🤪 honed their critical thinking through participation in debate clubs, strategic sessions, and thought-provoking film screenings;
🤪 visited the Valdai Discussion Club, the IMEMO Science Festival, and the Centre of Oriental Literature of the Russian State Library;
🤪 immersed themselves in Russian culture, attending a stunning performance of Swan Lake and visiting the State Historical Museum.

Although the fellowship has came to an end, the invaluable insights and connections forged will profoundly influence these young leaders' perspectives for years to come, empowering a new generation of international experts to cultivate a deeper understanding of the political processes across the globe.

A Day at the Gorchakov Fund! 🔘

From public diplomacy projects to social media strategies — our international relations fellows started their day at the Gorchakov Fund. They dove into the Fund's mission and discovered real opportunities to shape international dialogue through various programs and initiatives.

🩷Memes and Trolling: New Language of Diplomacy

Taking this journey further, Alexandr Novikov, the Fund's senior expert, led a roundtable on the new language of digital diplomacy. Our fellows explored the power of memes and trolling in today's diplomatic landscape, seeing firsthand how social platforms are reshaping global conversations.

We saved the best for last though — the fellows received the final pieces of this year's InteRussia merch! 🎁
