All-Russian scientific and practical conference on developing project-based training for the creative economy

This review covers the All-Russian scientific and practical conference, Developing Project-Based Training for the Creative Economy, held October 25, 2024, at the Moscow State Institute of Culture. The conference focused on cultivating creative competencies—including creative thinking, communication, and problem-solving—in future culture and arts professionals. It also explored fostering creative approaches in training for non-creative fields like engineering, medicine, law, and accounting. Presentations addressed the formation and management of a communica- tive culture for effective interdisciplinary teamwork, the role of environmen- tal education and sustainable development, and the integration of creative projects aimed at fostering social responsibility among students into edu- cational programs. Discussions included educational game design and a showcase of best practices implemented in Russian higher education’s cre- ative industries. Conference participants shared experiences and practical recommendations for the implementation of innovative teaching methods. A key task of the conference was to determine the most effective programs and approaches for training faculty to nurture students’ creative potential.
