“Konstantin Stanislavsky once limited a theatre’s lifetime to ten years. He thought ten years was enough time to realize the innovative ideas of the theatre’s founders, carry out the bold projects and plans of the theatre’s directors, and fully reveal the creative potential of the theatre’s troupe. After ten years in operation, the theatre inevitably begins to fade and decline and a new powerful impulse is required to bring it back to life.Perhaps, any non-commercial organization could be compared to a theatre. At any rate, ten years in civil society, especially in a country such as Russia, is a very respectable term. As it approaches its tenth anniver-sary, the New Eurasia Foundation faces the task of assessing its role and contribution, its comparative advan-tages and weaknesses, as well as the task of identifying new ways and methods that will ensure its continuous growth and development. The past ten years have been extremely rich and eventful for us: we remember our victories and defeats, our hopes and disappointments, our successes and failures. Although not everything has gone according to plan, the New Eurasia Foundation has been and will remain one of the social develop-ment leaders. Our models, methods, and techniques are being used by dozens of organizations throughout the country. Our approaches underlie the standards of Russia’s emerging social investment sector.The New Eurasia Foundation has always been known for its willingness to experiment, master new social techniques, and expand its circle of partners and experts. Perhaps, this is why the Foundation has always attracted creative and caring professionals who strive to outpace the spirit of time rather than follow it. I hope the New Eurasia Foundation will retain this quality in the future regardless of the state of its project portfolio and its constantly changing funding sources. After all, everything else is nothing but a question of profes-sional qualification”.

Andrey Kortunov, President of the New Eurasia Foundation:

T he “EURECA” program seeks to enhance the scientific research capac-ity of Russian universities and support their participation in the national and global innovation ecosystems by assisting them in the develop-

ment of their commercialization of research and technology transfer systems, strengthening their entrepreneurial potential, and helping them integrate aca-demic and entrepreneurial components in their everyday operations. The pro-gram is the initiative designed and funded by the US-Russia Foundation for Economic Advancement and the Rule of Law (USRF). It is implemented in partnership with the Ministry of education of the Russian Federation in com-pliance with the priorities of the National “Education” Program and the Federal program for support of national research universities.In the course of its pilot phase, the “EURECA” program helped create opportu-nities for Russian national, federal, and research universities and other leading institutions of higher learning to organize collaboration with the international innovation community and its primary networks thereby enabling its members to adequately assess the growing potential of cooperation with Russia. Based on the experiences of the model US — Russian interuniversity partnerships, the program offered effective mechanisms enabling Russian innovative univer-sities to access not only national, but also international, particularly, American innovation markets. The “EURECA” program became an innovative mediator that brings together the requirements and resources of institutions of higher learning, businesses, governmental stakeholders, innovation community members, and development institutes interested in innovation development in general, as well as in mutually beneficial US-Russian cooperation in in-novations, in particular.

V. V. Nefyodov,

the Minister of industry and innovations

of the Nizhniy Novgorod region

V. V. Nefyodov noted that the Nizhniy Novgorod

region was one of Russia’s largest innovation

centers with a powerful technological potential:

“The cooperation with US universities helps

us grow this potential. The primary objective

of our international collaboration is to bring

together Russian experiences and American

potential to create products that are able to serve

for the benefit of mankind”.

012EDUCATION

PROJECTS

The program “Enhancing the entrepreneurial capacity of leading Russian universities by engaging regional governments in improving the efficiency and competitiveness of innovation economy cluster subjects” (a.k.a. “EU-

RECA-2”) will strengthen the role of the leading universities in the develop-ment of modern innovation systems and effective cluster collaboration models involving universities by supporting universities’ leadership in innovation clus-ters, creating and developing innovation infrastructures in clusters, designing methodological recommendations on organizing this process, and by putting together model descriptions. These models and mechanisms will be subse-quently disseminated and replicated for the benefit of other regional and na-tional clusters. “EURECA-2” will enable universities to optimize their innovation infrastructure management systems, R&D management systems, commerciali-zation of research and technology transfer systems by creating new structures and introducing new procedures and approaches. The project will enable uni-versities to optimize their entrepreneurial education systems taking into account the needs of regional innovation ecosystems and high-tech industry sectors. The project will enhance the role of institutions of higher learning within region-al innovation clusters by supporting their innovation activities and by enabling them to form partnerships with leading American universities and join interna-tional innovation networks. “EURECA-2” will also enable innovation companies to optimize their operations by enabling them to form partnerships with institu-tions of higher learning in training a highly-skilled workforce and implementing R&D activities for the industry in compliance with regional innovation economy and cluster development requirements. Finally, the project will enable Russian regions to optimize their innovation ecosystems by improving the operating ef-ficiency of regional cluster member-organizations.

This project continues what was started by the “Community schools in Russia” and “Community universities” projects as

it links them together using a new project com-ponent, “Synergy”. The project aims to reinforce the previously created institutional, intellectual, and human resources in the field of community education, facilitate a mutual integration of these resources, and create a viable model for their subsequent dissemination. The project will help create a mechanism for integration of schools and institutions of higher learning for the purpose of implementing community education practices. The project will help design a set of secondary school education methods based on community school principles. The pilot schools will launch creative and innovative Local Development Labo-ratories where school teachers, school students, as well as students and faculty members of institu-tions of higher learning will implement research and education projects within the framework of study programs and extracurricular activities designed to address territorial and local commu-nity development problems.

The New Eurasia Foundation has recently expanded its database of international experts.

Today, the database contains information about more than 7,000 international experts. A

more extensive list of experts will help ensure a maximum diversity of potential candidates

from among foreign experts and avoid excessive representation of any specific country

in the process of assessment of project proposals. The network is comprised of experts

representing more than 42 countries, including Austria, Australia, Belgium, Great Britain,

Hungary, Germany, Greece, Denmark, Israel, Ireland, Spain, Italy, Canada, Cyprus, China,

Latvia, Lithuania, Macedonia, Mexico, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Portu-

gal, Romania, Serbia, Singapore, Slovakia, USA, Finland, France, Croatia, Czech Republic,

Sweden, Switzerland, Estonia, Japan, etc.

The New Eurasia Foundation has experience in and disposes of resources required to organize assessment of research and education process

of any complexity by international experts. A diversi-fied expert base and a proven method that meets the procedural requirements of the leading international organizations enable the Foundation to organize project assessment in compliance with relevant international standards. In 2012, the FNE used its methods and ac-cess to a database of international experts to organ-ize assessment of 37 project proposals submitted to a grant competition of the RF Government. Those project proposals were assessed by 71 international experts.

The New Eurasia Foundation has already used its metho-

dology to organize assessment of the project proposals

submitted to the open grant competitions that were held

by the Gov ernment of the Russian Federation in 2010 and

2011 in compliance with Resolution No.220, “On measu-

res designed to attract leading scientists to Russian in-

stitutions of higher learning”, by international experts.

mental research centers of the Russian Federation.

The New Eurasia Foundation does a lot of work supporting international activities of edu-cational institutions of different kinds. Here,

the New Eurasia Foundation focuses on promot-ing effective formats of international cooperation and informing Russian education specialists of best foreign practices and methods of their adaptation to the Russian conditions. Over the years, the Foun-dation has built serious partnerships with some of the leading America, European, and Asian uni-versities, professional associations, and expert communities. The Foundation’s networks of partners enable it to organize various seminars and confer-ences, training sessions, study tours, and qualifi-cations improvement programs specifically tailored to meet the needs of Russian universities. Education services are usually requested by the leading Rus-sian universities and regional institutions of higher learning.

The Foundation’s education projects and programs have

included more than 50 study tours to European countries,

the USA, and Israel and more than 100 international

conferences on the most relevant education development

issues, e.g. “We build our future today: University —

Region — Business”, “University innovation ecosys-

tems and their role in regional innovation development:

lessons learned and solutions for successful commer-

cialization”, Russian — German symposium “Knowledge

transfer as the new key objective of institutions of higher

learning. Support for innovation development and the re-

gional and international levels”, etc.

EXAMPLES OF INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCES, STUDY TOURS, TRAINING AND QUALIFICATIONS IMPROVEMENT PROGRAMS

International study tour for representatives of Russian institutions of higher learning “University as a key player in the development of the national innovation ecosystem”, May 2013, Beijing, People’s Republic of ChinaThe study tour was hosted by Qinghua University. Its participants had the opportunity to learn

about the most effective methods and approaches to the development of university innova-

tion ecosystems, development of productive and lasting partnerships between universities,

businesses, and regional and local governments, and to strengthening the role of a univer-

sity as a key player in the development of the national innovation ecosystem. The study tour

participants included representatives of the Ural Federal University named after the first RF

President B. N. Yeltsin. They also had a chance to discuss potential cooperation avenues

with representatives of Qinghua University.

International study tour “Entrepreneurial strategies of leading American universities: practices and partnerships for territorial development” (December 2012, Boston, USA)The study tour was organized for representatives of the Southern Federal University and Penza

Technological Academy and covered the third function of universities, development of socially

enterprising universities, and collaboration between institutions of higher learning and local

stakeholders for the benefit of university and territorial development. For additional informa-

tion, please refer to the website of “Talloires Network”, one of the study tour organizers.

“Innovations after 2013” conference, July 2012, Amsterdam (Netherlands)This international event was organized by the Association of Universities in the Netherlands

in partnership with the New Eurasia Foundation and Association of the Leading Russian Uni-

versities. The purpose of this conference was to identify promising areas for cooperation be-

tween Russian and Dutch universities and put together collaborative action plans for the year

of bilateral relations between the Russian Federation and the Netherlands scheduled for 2013.

Karl Dittrich, former Rector

of the Maastricht University

and designer of the independent system

of accreditation of Dutch and Flemish

institutions of higher learning:

“We came here full of hopes and expectations

and we count on having a productive dialogue

with our Russian colleagues. Global cooperation

is sometimes taken for granted as we sign

hundreds of various kinds of agreements.

However, it is not until science and researchers

standing behind them agree to collaborate

in specific areas that these agreements become

truly useful and effective. I am glad that over

the past two days we have focused on specific

scientific disciplines and research areas where

we can achieve collaborative results”.

The “Community universities” project seeks to introduce socially useful practices in edu-cation of students, support the develop-

ment of continuous education programs, promote the project management approach and entrepre-neurial spirit among students and faculty, contrib-ute to the development of local communities, make education more practical and improve its quality, expand the opportunities of students and faculty for self-realization, and enrich the resources of in-stitutions of higher learning.The project promotes the social function of educa-tion in Russia, helps collect and disseminate best university practices in social engagement, and pro-motes the networking between Russian and foreign institutions of higher learning. The project helped create information resource centers focused on promoting the social function of universities on the basis of six Russian insti tutions of higher learning: Ural Federal Univer sity, Northern (Arctic) Federal University, ITMO, Perm State University, Kostroma State Agricul tural Academy, and the Novokuznetsk Branch of the Kemerovo State University. The pro-ject helped train teams of specialists for promotion of community education at institutions of higher learning. In addition, the participant universities have put together a portfolio of 50 best practices in collaboration between universities and local communities. The participant universities distrib-ute these practices among other universities.

“TRAINING DEVELOPMENT MANAGERS FOR RUSSIAN REGIONAL UNIVERSITIES” PROJECT

“REGIONAL UNIVERSITY — REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT RESOURCE” PROJECT

“COMMUNITY SCHOOLS IN RUSSIA” PROJECT

The project enabled a group of Russian universities to design and test new mechanisms required to optimize strategic development of institutions of higher learning by training teams of university development specialists

and enhancing competitiveness of Russian regional universities. The introduc-tion of a training program for strategic and organizational development managers into the tertiary education curriculum is another achievement of the project.

The project enabled a group of Russian univer-sities to design and test a mechanism required to utilize the potential of regional universities

in socio-economic development processes of their respective regions by implementing replicable models of collaboration between universities and other regional so cial partners..

Since 2005, the New Eurasia Foundation has been promoting the community school model entailing collaboration between secondary

schools and their respective local communities, utilization of local community resources in the pro-cess of education, popularization of volunteerism among secondary school students, and engagement of parents and other members of local communities in everyday lives of secondary schools. Several Russian regions have chosen to use the commu-nity school model as the basis for the development of their respective regional education systems. The model is fully equipped with methods required for implementation of the new generation standards of education and has been included in the national education initiative “Our new school”. The project has helped create a large portfolio of methods that are now used in secondary schools, as well as qualifications improvement institutes for education specialists. In addition, the project has helped put

together an interregional network of resource centers that provide methodological, advisory, and training support to community schools, as well as an interregion-al network of institutions of higher learning and continuous education that train and improve qualifications of school teachers and administrators using the com-munity school model. Russian community schools are networking and collaborating with community schools in other CIS member-states and abroad.

The project helped create a system of workforce training for community schools on the basis of qualifications improvement institutes for education specialists. The project participants designed 11 sets of training and methodological materials two of which are designed to train community schools specialists at teacher training institutions, eight will be used to train community school specialists at institutions of continuous pedagogical education, and one set was designed for both categories of students. Community education approaches and courses have been implement-ed at more than 60 schools involved in the project.

The program enabled the Foundation to summarize the education financing models available in Russia by implement-

ing a research project, “Comparative analysis of Russian and foreign education financing mod-els”. In addition, the Foundation designed rec-ommendations for Russian institutions of higher learning on attracting non-budget funding and organizing research activities, and sug-gested ways to improve the existing education financing models in Russia.

This was the first project in Russia to launch public discussions of relevant ideas, ini-tiatives, and best education development

practices within the professional community of education executives, such as regional edu-cation administration officials, secondary school principals, representatives of educational NGOs, and leading experts, using a variety of venues, such as interregional councils, forums, clubs, etc. The recommendations designed as a result of those discussions have been used by edu-cational ministries and departments, as well as education professionals of various levels.

TERRITORIAL DEVELOPMENT

The New Eurasia Foundation’s territorial development efforts are based on the concept of social investment that reconciles the interests of businesses and the public, makes effective use of territorial resources, actively engages local community members in social development initiatives, and identifies new resources and opportunities for territorial development. The principal approaches to social investment encompass optimizing internal and external resources, leveraging additional resources, development of public-private partnership, development of human capital, and deployment of social innovations.

TERRITORIAL DEVELOPMENT

A. B. Levintal, Deputy Chairman of the regional government

and Minister of economic development and external relations

of the Khabarovsk region:

“The Ministry of economic development and external relations

of the Khabarovsk region thanks the New Eurasia Foundation for organizing,

conducting, and taking an active part in activities designed to create

an effective and efficient regional innovations support infrastructure

and to bring innovations to the real economy sector”.

Mission: To advance social prosperity by engaging Russian citizens in activities designed to improve their living standard.

Goal: To achieve peace and social prosperity within given territories.

Olga SCHEDRINA, Director of the New Eurasia Foundation’s “Territorial Development” program area:

“When we speak of the New Eurasia Foundation’s approaches to territorial development we mean, first and foremost, giving up on charity for the sake

of charity. Since 2010, we have been using the concept of social investment. The Foundation’s territorial development projects seek to enhance

the quality of human capital, ensure employment and self-employment, and introduce innovative techniques and approaches into the social sphere.

Our work primarily focuses on three areas: support of small and medium-sized businesses at the municipal level, professional self-identification

of youth and adaptation of the primary and secondary vocational training system to the Labor market requirements, and engagement of local

community members in social projects and civic initiatives. Since 2011, we have been working in the field of social entrepreneurship — a kind

of activity that is entirely new for our country. Social entrepreneurship has the capacity to help effectively address the most pressing needs

and problems of Russian cities and population centers”.

• Mutually beneficial cooperation. Implementation of projects and programs that benefit all potential stakeholders represented by governments, businesses, and citizens.

• Professionalism. We use the most advanced social innovation tools, social marketing, and communications.

• Focus on target groups. Our partners are people who make decisions and choices, not people who need to be trained or managed. We strive to understand what people want and we support their efforts in implementing their ideas.

• Control and self-control. We design and use special monitoring methods to exercise ongoing control over the projects. We respond to circumstantial changes flexibly and, if necessary, redistribute our resources to ensure their most efficient utilization. We guarantee transparency of our activities.

• We mobilize local communities by organizing “schools of social entrepreneurship”, holding competitions of business, social, and research projects.

• We stimulate professional self-identification by organizing municipal career counseling centers for youth and promoting public-private partnerships in vocational education designed to meet the needs of local Labor markets.

• We help establish small business support structures and provide local populations with access to high-quality micro-lending, consulting, and training services.

• We facilitate the networking among regional innovation support structures, analyze the world’s best practices, and encourage all stakeholders to share relevant experiences.

• We help organize innovation and creativity development centers for children and popular science museums.

• We help design and implement “turn-key” economic development plans for territories (complex investment plans for company towns and territorial agglomerations).

• We train employees of regional and municipal governments in raising infrastructure development capital from governmental and private sources.

• We train local community members in raising funds for their social projects.• We organize regional and international study tours for representatives of regional

and municipal governments, enterprises, educational institutions and public organizations in social project management, education methods, innovation development, and fundraising.

• We engage regional residents in conscious activities designed to improve the standard of living and social environment.

• We implement innovative techniques within the socio-economic sphere and promote innovative thinking.

• We help organize ongoing fundraising required for territorial development.

• We help small and medium-sized businesses of the Russian regions to reach a new development level.

• We help organize a steady supply of skilled workers and managers of all requisite levels for regional and local organizations and enterprises.

• We help create conditions required to ensure employment and self-employment of citizens.

• We help ensure sustainable socio-economic development of the Russian regions.

• We help improve social climate, social cohesion, and public morale.

• We improve the mobilization capacity of the regions enabling them to respond to modern challenges in an effective and efficient fashion.

OPERATING PRINCIPLES IMPLEMENTATION MECHANISMS IMPORTANT SOCIO-ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT ISSUES WE STRIVE TO ADDRESS WHEN IMPLEMENTING OUR TERRITORIAL DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS:

The project was designed to introduce a small business development model at the mu-nicipal level in the Mukhorshibir district

of the Republic of Buryatia, Ust-Abakan, Beysk, and Altaysk district and the city of Chernogorsk of the Republic of Khakassia, Novoshakhtinsk settlement of the Primorye region, and the city of Sharypovo of the Krasnoyarsk region.

2012“SCHOOL OF LOCAL COMMUNITY:

SMALL BUSINESS” PROJECT

TERRITORIALDEVELOPMENT

From the “Krasnoyarskiy Rabochiy”

newspaper, March 28, 2012:

This is not the first time that the head

of the Novoshakhtinsk (Mikhailovsk district,

Primorye region) municipal government, Sergey

Ivanchenko, is taking part in the projects implemented

by the New Eurasia Foundation and the SCEC

Regional Development Foundation and he says

that the knowledge he acquires as a result of his

involvement helps him a lot in his everyday work.

“We came here, — said Sergey Nikolayevich, —

to see how the Krasnoyarsk region, Kemerovo

region, Khakassia, Altay, and Buryatia operate.

Our representatives observed the fair in Borodino”.

Sergey Ivanchenko wants to launch a pilot small

business support program in his district that

currently boasts about 35 entrepreneurs that would

be able to consolidate the fragmented businesses

of the Novoshakhtinsk settlement, populated by some

8,500 people, primarily represented by commerce

and service enterprises…

Project goal: to put together a system that will help train young workers for the Siberian Coal Energy Com-pany enterprises at the vocational training schools in the company’s operation territories. Project geogra-phy: Kemerovo region, Republic of Buryatia.Project geography:• Kemerovo region,• Republic of Buryatia.This project capitalizes

on the outcomes of the projects in professional self-determination of youth implemented in 2008-2010 in partnership with the Siberian Coal Energy Company Regional Development Fund and aims to meet the most pressing workforce training needs. The qualifications of vocational school graduates rarely meet the requirements of industrial enterprises and this problem is felt very strongly in Russia’s industrial regions. This is why workforce training has become such an important issue for Russian municipalities, regions, and businesses. Addressing this problem requires qualitatively new approaches.

2011

“PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP IN MODERNIZING PRIMARY AND SECONDARY VOCATIONAL EDUCATION” PROJECT

In 2010, the project “Developing the Labor potential of Leninsk-Kuznetsky” helped

establish a center for professional self-determination of youth at the city’s Lyce-

um No.4. The workforce preparation procedure is interactive, focused on independent

work, reflexive discussions, distant learning courses, and application of best Russian

and foreign practices in the development of territorial workforce potential.• A small business support agency was registered

in Sharypovo.

• The first municipal fair of small businesses

of the Mukhorshibir district of the Republic

of Buryatia was held.

• Training seminars were held for over 150 existing

and aspiring entrepreneurs from the pilot regions.

KEY PROJECT RESULTS

PROJECTS

The project is designed to organize a professional identity system in con-sideration of the modern employee requirements. Mobile, competent, and competitive graduates capable of promptly acquiring the professions

for which there is a market demand are required today. At the same time, they must have social competencies and be independent and mature enough: they must be able to assume responsibility for their own lives and know how to make the right choice. This is why the notion of professional identity in this project differs from the traditional notion of professional orientation: it also has to do with one’s personal identity, one’s attempt to develop certain qualities that make one an independent adult.

2012“SCHOOL OF LOCAL COMMUNITY:

PROFESSIONAL IDENTITY” PROJECT

From RIA “Leninsk” materials, April 17, 2012:

The New Eurasia Foundation marked its third year

of operation in our city not only with the traditional

competitions “Breakthrough into the XXI Century”, but

also with a special seminar “developing innovative

thinking among youth” organized especially

for the Leninsk-Kuznetsk schoolteachers. The city

pedagogues were glad to become students again.

Dancing, singing, and laughter — a good teacher

will use them all in their work. Knowing the students’

various thinking types and their individual activation

methods are what is important. Methodological

materials based on the seminars will be put together

to be used by all city pedagogues.

A. N. Borchukov, Head of the Borodino municipality, Krasnoyarsk region

V. N. Klimov, Chairman of the Borodino Council

of City Deputies

“The government of the city of Borodino

and the Borodino Council of City Deputies thank

the New Eurasia Foundation for the significant

contribution it has made to the development of the city

of Borodino by implementing socially meaningful

projects designed to support small and medium-sized

businesses of the city of Borodino in 2008-2010”.

Lyudmila V. Popova,

Head of the Education Administration Department:

“… We extend our gratitude to our colleagues from the New Eurasia Foundation and Siberian Coal Energy Company

for working with us. No doubt, our relationships have positively impacted the operations of our district institutions

of learning in 2010-2011. … Our meetings mean not only improved pedagogical skills but also an impulse

of sorts for new accomplishments”.

Olga A. Almabekova, Institute for Management of Business Processes and Economy,

“International Language Communication” laboratory:

“From what I have learned at the seminar I am going to use the innovative thinking techniques when conducting

practical English lessons”.

Irina I. Miroshnikova, Deputy Head of the Mikhailovsk district municipality:

“As an education curator I will use the knowledge I acquired at the seminar to create a professional incubator”.

Oksana I. Odarichenko, Deputy Principal of Secondary School No.4,

Chegdomyn settlement, Verkhnebureinsk district, Khabarovsk region:

“From what I have learned at the seminar I will use the “Profession and career” program in my everyday work.

I will also create an electronic navigator of professions”.

KEY PROJECT RESULTS

PROJECTS

“School of social entrepreneurship” is a social tech-

nology designed to develop and diversify the Labor

market, as well as local community initiatives. This

technology helps address social problems, includ-

ing that of employment, more effectively by ensuring

financial sustainability of social entrepreneurship

projects.

Project goal: to improve the operating efficiency of regional innovation sup-port structures.Project geography:• Kemerovo region,• Khabarovsk region.One of the factors impeding the advancement of innovations is the poor op-erating efficiency of the regional innovation support structures. This is often accounted for by the lack of information about the best Russian and interna-tional practices and models of regional innovation development. This is why the project focuses on supporting the networking among regional innova-tion support structures, analyzing the world’s best practices, and ensuring exchange of relevant experiences. The project partners include two regional innovation support structures: the Kuzbass Technological Park (Kemerovo re-gion) and Far-Eastern Agency for Support of Innovations (Khabarovsk region).

2011

“DEVELOPING REGIONAL INNOVATION SUPPORT STRUCTURES” PROJECT

The first Popular Science Museum was inaugurated in Len-

insk-Kuznetsky on August 24, 2011. The museum is the result

of a social partnership: the exhibits were created by the mem-

bers of the Children’s Creativity Center; the lyceum teach-

ers, spearheaded by the principal, T. A. Yakushina, designed

amusing exercises for the youngest patrons, while the mu-

nicipal research methodology center, education department,

and New Eurasia Foundation provided methodological sup-

port. The museum’s inauguration turned out to be a truly joyful

event for the children. A special tour of the museum was de-

signed for them. “Feel free to touch the exhibits!” is the basic

rule of behaviour in the museum, which is why the children

were able to experiment with each exhibit and check how it

worked. Some of the children immediately revealed their abili-

ties. For example, Ilya, a lyceum student, built Leonardo da

Vinci’s bridge in record time. In addition to the tour of the mu-

seum, the organizers had put together four experimental labo-

ratories where the children examined the composition of light

and colour, analyzed the air of Leninsk-Kuznetsky, assembled

a model of Earth’s crust, built a radio receiver and a Dicta-

phone, and turned on the light in a lighthouse model.

The Deputy Governor of the Kemerovo region for economy

and regional development, D. V. Islamov, had visited the mu-

seum shortly before the inauguration ceremony. The Director

General of Siberian Coal Energy Company OJSC, V. V. Ra-

shevsky, came to check out the new museum on August 27,

the official Miner’s Day.

Another popular science museum was inaugurated in the city

of Borodino, Krasnoyarsk region, in December 2011.

Project goal: to engage children and adoles-cents residing in the operation regions of Siberian Coal Energy Company OJSC in technological ac-tivities and awaken their interest in mining and en-ergy professions.Project geography:• Leninsk-Kuznetsky, Kemerovo region,• Borodino, Krasnoyarsk region.The project attempts to tackle one of the most relevant tasks for today’s Russia — to awaken an interest in science, research, and technology in young people. The project methodology is based on the popular science museum model. Popular science museums exist all around the world. In re-cent years, they have appeared in Moscow, St. Pe-tersburg, and Irkutsk. The project aims to establish popular science museums whose activities will promote innovative thinking, popularize science and technology, revive the prestige of engineer-ing professions, and train a competitive workforce for the coal-mining industry.

“CREATING INNOVATION ACTIVITY CENTERS FOR CHILDREN” PROJECT

WWW.NEWEURASIA.RU

To help the pilot universities implement their projects the New Eurasia Foundation has conducted training seminars

for their students on innovation project design (“School of innovation development”). These seminars required forming

interdisciplinary project teams made up of not only students of technical faculties, but also future economists, market-

ing specialists, managers, and lawyers. At the same time, the Foundation is providing practical assistance to the teams

in their efforts to design innovation projects based on the innovative activities of their respective universities. For exam-

ple, the Siberian Federal University has put together interdisciplinary teams for five innovation projects:

• Environmentally friendly and energy-saving technology of utilization of the out-of-balance coals

of the Kansk-Achinsk coalfield for production of calcium carbide, acetylene, and hydrogen.

• Development of environmentally friendly and energy-saving devices for preparation of the Kansk-Achinsk field

coals for power production at power plants.

• Biomedical products manufactured on the basis of polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA).

• Medical application of nano-sized ferrihydrite particles.

• Reduction of silicone tetrachloride using a univalent aluminum compound (subchloride).

This approach to the development of innovative projects, on the one hand, helps to better prepare projects for external

financing, and on the other — makes it possible for students to acquire practical skills in teamwork, experience in train-

ing and subsequent implementation of innovative projects, and an opportunity to form teams for implementation of their

own projects in the future.

Project goal: to establish and facilitate the organizational development of a small business support structure in the city of Sharypovo, Krasnoyarsk region.This project was implemented using the model that was tested in the course of the small business support project implemented in the city of Borodino, Kras-noyarsk region, in 2008-2010 as part of a program implemented by the New Eurasia Foundation in collaboration with the Siberian Coal Energy Company Regional Development Fund. Small business development is one of the most pressing needs currently experienced by the city of Sharypovo because, ac-cording to the head of the municipal government, V. G. Khokhlov, it is small and medium-sized businesses that are to act in the capacity of “city-forming enterprises” for Sharypovo. The FNE experts traveled to the city of Sharypovo and analyzed the needs of the local business community and the status of the ex-isting small businesses in the city, designed a small business development concept for the city, and selected candidates for recruitment by the future small business support structure to be soon established in Sharypovo.

• The project participants designed and launched 32 social entrepreneurship projects in the Omsk region;

• Sustainable partnerships were created between the bodies of power, businesses, and non-commercial organizations in seven districts of the Omsk region (the total number of participating partners reaching 143);

• 57 new jobs were created;• 5,302,727 roubles were raised to implement social

entrepreneurship projects;• The participating social entrepreneurs earned about

1.5 million roubles during the five months following the completion of their training under the project.

RESULTS OF PHASE I OF THE “SCHOOL OF SOCIAL ENTREPRENEURSHIP” PROJECT

Project geography:• Phase I — Omsk region;• Phase II — Omsk region, Republic of Tatarstan, Irkutsk region.The project consists of two phases. The first phase, completed in July 2011, helped design and test the training component of the School of social entre-preneurship. The Omsk regional community school resource center acted as the project partner.The first group of the school students — a total of 43 individuals — were selected on the basis of competition. Over the course of the subsequent five months, these people not only designed, but also implemented social entre-preneurship projects. The Supervisory Board of the school presided over by the Deputy Chairman of the Omsk regional government, A. V. Artyomov, was put together to monitor the students’ progress. The Supervisory Board also in-cluded prominent representatives of the regional business community and non-commercial sector.A local community development technology based on the social entrepreneur-ship approach and public-private partnership was the principal result of the first phase of the project. The social entrepreneurship approach allows combining the advantages of the non-commercial sector and entrepreneurship in social practices and address social problems at the local and regional levels more ef-ficiently. The technology is unique in that successful local businessmen provide expert support to the students’ projects and ongoing negotiations and collabo-ration between municipal governments, social entrepreneurs, and the Supervi-sory Board members help create a favourable entrepreneurial climate in the pilot territory.The second phase of the project is designed to put together a regional pool of social entrepreneurship trainers. In addition, the project geography was ex-panded as the Irkutsk region and Republic of Tatarstan joined the project.

The project activities bring together representatives of six operation regions of Siberian Coal Energy Company OJSC (heads

of municipalities, employees of municipal governments and organizations, active project participants, and initiative citi-

zens), including representatives of the territories in which social programs were not implemented in 2008-2010. As they

learned about the successful project experiences and results of other territories, the participants of the seminars re-evalu-

ated the prospects of their respective coal-mining enterprises. For example, the participants of the seminars in Kiselyovsk

and Ulan-Ude were presented with implementation experiences of specific public initiatives: the municipal fair of social

projects organized by an initiative group of citizens in Kiselyovsk and professional self-identification and career coun-

seling at the local press-center in the settlement of Nikolsk, Mukhorshibir district, Republic of Buryatia. The participants

of the seminar in Krasnoyarsk learned how to improve people’s lives in a small company town and attract additional capital

by promoting the development of small businesses and small business support structures as it was done by the small

business support agency of the city of Borodino and the Rybinsk district. In Abakan, the seminar participants learned about

the professional self-identification and career-counseling model used by the Ust-Abakan municipal center for professional

self-identification and career counseling for youth, which helps young people to find their life paths and choose professions

required for ongoing prosperity of their home towns.

The municipalities of the Primorye region in which Siberian Coal Energy Company OJSC operates a number of its enter-

prises also took an active part in the seminars. The seminars were attended by a total of 121 participants.

“SCHOOL OF LOCAL COMMUNITY” PROJECT ACTIVITIESProject goal: to organize and facilitate an exchange of best practices of the participants of the social projects implemented in 2008-2010 and to dis-seminate the most successful models in other territories.Project geography:• Krasnoyarsk region,• Khabarovsk region,• Trans-Baikal region,• Altay region,• Primorye region,• Kemerovo region,• Republic of Buryatia,• Republic of Khakassia.The New Eurasia Foundation launched the «School of Local community» project in 2011 to engage as many of the Siberian Coal Energy Company’s operation territories as possible in socially meaningful activities using the territorial devel-opment models tested in 2008-2010, as well as to improve professional qualifica-tions of the representatives of the resource centers established under the social projects implemented in 2008-2010. This format helped optimize the budget re-quired for continued implementation of the 2008-2010 social projects, support of the “growth points” created thereunder, and creation of conditions conducive to leveraging of federal and regional government funding for ongoing development of the project’s pilot regions. The project had three thematic foci:• Development of small and medium-sized businesses (on the basis

of the Small Business Support Agency of the city of Borodino and Rybinsk district);

• Professional orientation of youth and career counselling (on the basis of the resource centers established in the Republic of Khakassia and Leninsk-Kuznetsky, Kemerovo region);

• Volunteerism and support of socially meaningful initiatives of citizens (on the basis of the public charity organization of the Verkhnebureinsk district “Initiative”, the initiative group from the city of Kiselyovsk, Kemerovo region, and the children’s press-center in the settlement of Sagan-Nur, Republic of Buryatia).

The project will enable groups of orphans from among senior-year high school stu-dents and their mentors to undergo training

in social project management and support their independent efforts in designing and implementing their own socially meaningful projects, as well as effective communication and constructive competi-tion with peers..

The project aims to enhance the capacity of civil society institutions, businesses, and mass media required to facilitate peaceful resolution of con-

flicts and design new social conflict-prevention mech-anisms in Transnistria.

The project aimed to prevent illegal migration to RF by improving the conditions and oppor-tunities for legalization of migrants. The project

consisted of a series of activities designed to further the political dialogue between EU and the countries in-volved in the project with the view to improve the qual-ity and quantity of social support available to migrants before they leave home and upon their arrival in their destination countries. In addition, the project entailed a training program designed to improve relevant com-petencies of government officials and NGO representa-tives in social adaptation of migrants.

The project aims to introduce the social entrepre-neurship technology to young people with dis-abilities as a tool they can use to facilitate their

own social adaptation and integration into the socio-economic life of their community. The project helps its participants to determine if they want to engage in social entrepreneurship and formulate their busi-ness ideas, if they do.

The project helps identify effective models of collaboration between the governments and civil society institutions, such as NGOs,

institutions of higher learning, social development centers, community school resource centers, etc. in the field of prevention and mitigation of con-flicts in Northern Caucasus. The project will help increase the number of initiatives implemented by civil society institutions in collaboration with gov-ernments with the view to prevent and mitigate con-flicts, as well as expand the media coverage of this work in the region.

The project is implemented in partnership with the Department of Family and Youth Policy of the Moscow city government. The New Eurasia

Foundation facilitates the process of social adaptation of orphanage and boarding school graduates by pro-viding them with social communication skills, as well as independent goal-setting and goal-achievement skills. To that end the FNE partners and specialists have adapted and provided orphanage specialists with a set of specifically designed methods and tech-niques, including psychological and skill development training sessions, and involved orphanage residents and graduates in social project management.

“SOCIAL ADAPTATION OF ORPHANAGE AND BOARDING SCHOOL GRADUATES IN MOSCOW” PROJECT

From the thank-you letter written

by T. A. Neverova, the Deputy

Head of the Department of family

and youth policy of the Moscow City

Government:

“The Department of family and youth policy

of the city of Moscow extends its sincere

gratitude to the New Eurasia Foundation

for the invaluable assistance and support

it provides to orphans in the course

of the project designed to prepare them

for emancipation and independent adult

living… The Department of family

and youth policy of the city of Moscow

looks forward to continuing our fruitful

cooperation within this field”.

Yuri Yefimov, professor of political science and sociology

at the Stavropol State Agricultural University, doctor of political

sciences, member of the public board under the Authorized

representative of the RF President in the North-Caucasian Federal

District:

“The seminars available as part of the New Eurasia Foundation’s

project “Mitigating ethnic conflicts by supporting collaboration between

the governments and civil society institutions in Northern Caucasus” are very

useful because they enable their participants to understand the role and place

of local self-governance in our lives. A government that is closest to people

is not always able to solve all their problems. There is a great need for the New

Eurasia Foundation training seminars, especially here in Northern Caucasus.

There is a need in practical knowledge here, a need in practical application

of theoretical knowledge in unique and challenging conditions”.

SOCIAL INFORMATION AGENCY,

February 14, 2011

“Social Development Centers have

been established in Northern Caucasus.

They have been made possible thanks

to the New Eurasia Foundation’s

project “Stabilizing the situation

in Northern Caucasus by designing

institutional conflict-prevention

mechanisms”. The Foundation had

held an open competition among

NGOs from Northern Caucasus willing

to take part in the project by hosting

the aforementioned Social Development

Centers. These Social Development

Centers provide forums for multilateral

communication and collaboration among

various social groups and are hoped

to help reduce social tension in Northern

Caucasus”.

• “Experience of the municipal government

of Madrid in social adaptation of orphans”,

Spain, June 2011. The participants of this study

tour represented by directors of Moscow orphanages

and boarding school principals learned about

of orphans at the Madrid social adaptation centers,

workshops, and service enterprises that employ young

people representing various risk groups.

• “Providing post-institutional support

to emancipated orphans in the Vladimir

region”, June 2012

The primary goal of this study tour was to enable

the orphanage directors, boarding school principals,

and representatives of Moscow municipalities

to exchange their experiences in preparing orphans

for independent adult living. The participants

of the study tour learned about the relevant experiences

of their colleagues representing the orphanages

of Pokrov, Lakinsk, and Kameshkovo in providing post-

institutional support to emancipated orphans.
