Russia Promotes Universal Implementation of Preschool Patriotic Education Program "Friendly Games"

[Russian Patriotic Education Covers All Levels: From 'Important Conversations' to 'Friendly Games']

Olga Koludarova, Deputy Minister of Education of Russia, announced that starting September 1st, all kindergartens across Russia will launch the "Friendly Games" initiative, serving as a preschool version of the compulsory school curriculum "Important Conversations."

"Important Conversations" (Разговоры о важном) is a nationwide, weekly first-period civic education course in Russian primary and secondary schools, focusing on values, patriotism, and historical and cultural education.

Now, this educational model is being extended to kindergarten level, rebranded as "Friendly Games," using games and interactive activities to provide similar value-based enlightenment for pre-school children.
