Experts from the Coordination Center for TLD .RU/.РФ participated in the Dialogue Online interregional conference on internet safety, organized by the Vladimir Region Library for Children and Youth.
Victoria Bunchuk, Head of Social Projects at the Coordination Center, along with children’s author Nadezhda Kuznetsova, conducted a literary lesson on digital literacy for high school students.
Victoria introduced the students to the Study the Internet & Govern It! project and announced the upcoming release of an activity-based poetry collection titled Digital Footprint, which explores responsible online behavior. The book, set to be published under the project’s brand, features poems written by Nadezhda Kuznetsova. During the lesson, Kuznetsova shared excerpts from the collection, inviting the children to imagine and contribute additional lines to each poem. The full version of the book is scheduled for release in June and will be showcased at the Moscow Book Fair, Red Square.
Following the poetry session and a discussion with the author, the event continued with the Study the Internet quiz, featuring questions from the Kids section tailored for younger internet users. Despite their age, the participants demonstrated impressive familiarity with modern gadgets, online games, IT terminology, and safe browsing practices. Active quiz participants received sweet treats as prizes.
Each student also received a copy of the comic book A Critical Error: How I Almost Lost Everything, which follows the adventures of a teenager named Andrey and his robot assistant, Ruby.
The event also featured a presentation by Alina Samokhina, a PR Specialist at the Coordination Center, on artificial intelligence in education. Her report, titled Artificial Intelligence in Education: To Exclude or to Integrate, addressed the key challenges faced by educators and students amid the rapid adoption of AI tools in learning.
The presentation emphasized that AI is not transforming education itself, but rather the roles of its participants: teachers increasingly serve as architects of thought and moderators of the learning process, while students become active agents in their education. Special attention was given to the risks of superficial AI use, the need for critical thinking development, and the reevaluation of traditional assessment methods.
