BRICS Future Skills Challenge launches its first events
They will be attended by contestants and experts from Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa
The preparatory phase of the BRICS Future Skills Challenge, an international championship aimed at identifying and developing promising skills and building global networking among partner countries in the field of education and technology development, has been launched. This is reported on the BRICS National Research Committee website.
It is noted that the events will take place until December in a combined face-to-face and remote format with management centres on the BRICS education sites.
The BRICS Future Skills Challenge will bring together competitors and experts from Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa. The international championships will cover more than 70 competences.
In addition, the countries have outlined initiatives and activities to be implemented throughout the year as part of the championship. Beginning in June, special working groups will be launched to design and develop a BRICS skills certification system, which will be joined by Russian experts.
Work is actively underway to establish and expand a partnership network of colleges and universities under the auspices of the BRICS Skills Development and Technology Innovation Academy, taking into account the Russian "skills passport" initiative. The Agency is a platform for the formation of the BRICS partnership network.
Since April, the "BRICS Auditorium", a project that includes forums dedicated to the development and exchange of best practices in the different areas of Future Skills, has been underway.
Joint educational programmes will also be developed with universities in Russia and BRICS+ countries in seven competencies led by the Agency: "Space Systems Engineering", "Flying Robotics", "Industrial Design", "Blockchain Technologies", "Operation of Unmanned Aerial Systems", "Machine Learning and Big Data", "Web Design".

Ashok MondalNID Director"Signing this Memorandum of Understanding between the National Institute of Design (NID) and TV BRICS marks a pivotal milestone in advancing design diplomacy across the BRICS media space. This moment is especially significant as India hosts the 18th BRICS Summit, following India’s assumption of the BRICS chairship under the visionary leadership of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi. The partnership directly embodies his call to elevate Indian design standards through 'Design in India, Design for the World'. Through the global reach and broadcast capabilities of TV BRICS, we are excited to showcase the extraordinary visual storytelling, films, and design research of NID’s Film and Video Communication students to an international audience, while also welcoming and screening film works from BRICS network countries at NID Ahmedabad. This reciprocal exchange strengthens our shared commitment to educational, cultural, and artistic collaboration, fostering sustainable connections among global creative communities. NID Ahmedabad looks forward to leveraging this partnership to deepen cross-cultural dialogue, build international expert networks, and unlock transformative opportunities for filmmakers, researchers, and faculty across member nations" -

So, we have an opportunity to lead by example. We have our development bank, which can demonstrate and develop new ways of financing programmes.
