As part of the forum-festival "Territory of the Future. Moscow 2030" A meeting with the participants of the Great Arctic Expedition was held in Gostiny Dvor. Among them is the leader of the expedition, polar explorer Matvey Shparo, as well as the guys who will set off to conquer the Far North under his leadership – Ekaterina Egorshina from the volunteer builders' detachment and Sergey Bakharev from the explorers' detachment. This was reported by the press service of the capital's Department of Education and Science.
"The large Arctic expedition will last about two weeks. Moscow schoolchildren and college students, under the guidance of experienced polar explorers, will go to Cape Chelyuskin. This year, the expedition has two goals – to restore the memorial to polar explorers, which is located on the cape itself, and to collect scientific samples for leading Russian institutes. The results will be presented at a large-scale scientific conference. Thus, one group will travel about 100 kilometers along the coast of the Arctic Ocean in search of material for research, and the second will be engaged in restoration work at this time," said Matvey Shparo.
At the meeting, the participants talked about the peculiarities of this year's expedition. Thus, unlike previous years, the research team will cover the route on foot, not on skis. During the conversation, the responsibilities of volunteer builders were also discussed: the guests learned whether it is difficult to restore memorials in the conditions of the Far North and what difficulties are associated with this.
"Getting to the Arctic and starting to study it is one of my goals, because I want to become a polar explorer. I will have to master new skills, learn a lot to be useful in the expedition. My goals are close to my focus. I would like to make a geomorphological profile of the area. This is possible with the help of space images. I am very interested in learning what lies behind the mosses or lichens in the depths of the earth and what its structure is," said Sergey Bakharev, a student at School No. 171.
The expedition will involve 14 schoolchildren and college students who have passed a rigorous four-stage selection process: the Arctic Dictation, the adventure game “Heroes of the Arctic”, professional skills competitions and training camps in Karelia, where the participants covered a 60-kilometer route.

As a result of the selection, the following students were selected for the expedition: Ilya Maslenkin, a student of the Moscow Educational Complex "West", as well as students Ekaterina Gulid from Food College No. 33, Sofia Taranenko from the Ivan Fedorov Moscow Publishing and Printing College, Ksenia Greb from the Hero of the Soviet Union M.F. Panova, Ekaterina Egorshina from College of Architecture, Design and Reengineering No. 26 and Polina Pavlova from Medical College No. 1. Among the schoolchildren participating were Mikhail Krasavin from School No. 57, Ivan Krivashin from School No. 1253, Sergei Bakharev from School No. 171, Mikhail Sorokin from School No. 1576, Kirill Fedotkin from School No. 2054, Lev Spiridonov from Pokrovsky Kvartal School, Maria Kazakova from School No. 2073 and Vladimir Kulakov from School No. 1577.
Metropolitan Department of Education and Science first organized the Great Arctic Expedition in 2018. In 2024, schoolchildren skied in the footsteps of the leader of the Russian Polar Expedition of the early 20th century Eduard Toll and Soviet scientist Ivan Papanin, and college students built a mobile station on Cape Chelyuskin. This year's expedition is dedicated to the 80th anniversary of victory in the Great Patriotic War.
Earlier, 13 Moscow schoolchildren and college students traveled to Antarctica for the first time. In December 2024, the Moscow Youth Antarctic Expedition, organized by the Travel Laboratory additional education center, ended. Schoolchildren conducted research on assignment from research institutes, and college students supported the camp. During the trip, the young participants covered six routes over 63 kilometers long and took 96 samples.

About 80 thousand schoolchildren and college students are involved in tourism in the capital – every 20th student. The city project "The Route is Built" is in effect for them. Over the past year, the children have made almost 300 hiking trips around Russia and other countries – they visited Kazbek, Tien Shan, North Ossetia, Altai, Kamchatka and other destinations.
Moscow is a city where the technologies of the future are already being used today. Children play on modern sports grounds, use innovations in education, and use recommendations from artificial intelligence. Adults operate robots in production, move around the city in modern transport, receive advanced medical therapy, and do much more.
Even more technologies of the future can be found at the large-scale forum-festival "Territory of the Future. Moscow 2030". It will be held as part of the "Summer in Moscow" project from August 1 to September 14. Dozens of venues will host cultural, sports, educational and other events dedicated to the development of one of the most modern megacities in the world. Information about the venues and a detailed program are available on the official website of the forum-festival Moskov 2030.mos.ru.
