AIGSB at the First World Public Assembly

Moscow, September 20–21, 2025. The First World Public Assembly (WPA) was held at the World Trade Center in Moscow — a unique humanitarian forum of a new format, organized by the International Union of Non-Governmental Organizations “Assembly of the Peoples of the World.”

The main theme of the forum was “A New World of Conscious Unity.” Over the course of two days, the Assembly brought together more than 4,000 participants from over 150 countries, including diplomats, ministers, scholars, leaders of civil society movements and spiritual traditions, journalists, and representatives of youth organizations.

The forum addressed some of the most pressing issues of the 21st century, including education and science, economics and politics, artificial intelligence and the latest advances in human development, as well as prospects for international cooperation in the face of global challenges and rapid societal change.

📌 The programme featured a plenary session, seven panel discussions and dozens of thematic working sessions dedicated to strategic partnership, the values of the emerging world order, spiritual and cultural cooperation, and public diplomacy. The Assembly concluded with the presentation of the “For Service to Humanity” Award and a large-scale intercultural concert.

AIGSB at the Heart of International Dialogue

The Association of International Graduates and Students of Belgorod Region (AIGSB) made a meaningful contribution to the forum’s programme:

• AIGSB President Ahmed Mansour spoke about the role of international student associations as an instrument for strengthening humanitarian ties and fostering international understanding.
• Alexandra Ozheredova presented a report entitled “Artificial Intelligence as a Translator of Worlds: Intercultural Communication, Digital Media and New Information Literacy.”
• International students highlighted the importance of personal experiences of integration in building trust and understanding between countries.

A particularly symbolic moment of people-to-people diplomacy was the presentation of portraits of Russian and Belgorod university leaders to A.S. Alimov, a representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation, by Mohamed Saleh, an AIGSB volunteer.

The forum demonstrated that open dialogue and international communication can contribute to the development of a new humanitarian space founded on trust, cultural understanding and respect for diversity.
