Students from the State University of Management attended the opening ceremony of the VIII Youth Forum "Heritage," organized by the Moscow Department of Cultural Heritage.
Traditionally, the forum began with a student competition, which forms interdisciplinary interuniversity teams consisting of young specialists in a wide variety of fields: restoration, architecture, sociology, urban studies, engineering, design, PR, IT, economics, law, management, and history.
"At the direction of the Moscow Mayor, we are actively engaging young people in the preservation of cultural heritage. This requires a conscious approach. The key idea of the forum, organized in partnership with the capital's leading universities, is to engage young people with their fresh perspectives and progressive ideas in the process of preserving architectural monuments and integrating historical sites into the life of modern cities," noted Alexey Yemelyanov, head of the Moscow Department of Cultural Heritage.
About 400 students from more than 30 higher education institutions are taking part in the competition program.
The State University of Management is represented by 4th-year students in the field of "Urban Studies and City Management".
Student teams will develop a concept for the restoration and adaptation of a cultural heritage site. This year, the competition site chosen is the production building of the Moscow Wool Weaving Manufactory at 12 Petra Alekseyev Street in the Mozhaisk District of the Western Administrative Okrug, a 20th-century industrial architectural landmark. The projects will be presented in the second half of November 2025.
Participants will also attend lectures and master classes, and receive consultations from experts in architecture, restoration, urban studies, history, economics, law, management, and sociology. They will also have the opportunity to meet with owners of cultural heritage sites, investors, practicing restorers, renowned architects, and academics.
As a reminder, students from the State University of Management have been participating in the Heritage Youth Forum for over five years, and last year they were among the winners.
