Director of the coordination center Alexander Vorontsov notes:
“The topic of countering interethnic conflicts is relevant, since public authorities, educational organizations, and other actors in the socio-political sphere in the modern political situation must necessarily keep in the focus of their attention the problem of the spread of extremist ideology, the ideology of violence (terrorism), and improve the tools they have for conducting preventive work.”
Irina Rekhtina, Director of the Center for Retraining and Advanced Training of the Institute of Law of AltSU, emphasizes:
“The program focuses on developing in students the competencies necessary to solve problems aimed at strengthening the all-Russian civic identity, preserving and supporting the ethnocultural and religious diversity of the peoples of the Russian Federation, international (interethnic) and interreligious harmony. The course reflects new trends in the development of Russian legislation regarding the regulation of interethnic and interfaith relations in modern Russia, including in the implementation of migration policy and the implementation of state national policy in the field of education.”
