6012 Participants from 154 Countries: The Second World Public Assembly Has Concluded in Moscow
The Second World Public Assembly "New World: Values That Unite" has concluded in Moscow. On 18–19 September 2026, it brought together 6012 participants from 154 countries, with more than 10,000 additional people joining the work of the World Assembly online. Over the course of two days, 72 plenary, strategic, thematic, expert, and business sessions and events were held.

The organizer was the World Peoples Assembly, an international union of non-governmental organizations and citizens.

Among the participants were public and state figures, diplomats, representatives of international organizations, science, education, and culture, business circles, youth and public organizations, and the media.

The Second World Public Assembly continued the international public dialogue begun in 2025 by the First World Public Assembly "New World of Conscious Unity." In 2026, the next stage was the comprehension of shared values as the foundation of trust, cooperation, and shared responsibility for the future.

Uniting Peoples in Dialogue
The Second World Public Assembly brought together participants from 154 countries — people of different cultures, public traditions, and professional communities. The broad geography of participants gave the international public dialogue a global scale.

Video greetings to the participants of the World Assembly were delivered by Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation Sergey Lavrov, Secretary-General of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization Nurlan Yermekbayev, Director-General of ISESCO Salim Al-Malik, and Acting Head of the Social Affairs Sector of the League of Arab States Inas El-Fergani. A greeting was also sent to the participants by Secretary-General of the Commonwealth of Independent States Sergey Lebedev.

The central event of the first day was the Main Plenary Session "New World: Values That Unite," which defined the substantive framework for the further work of the World Assembly.

Participants discussed the role of shared values in strengthening trust and mutual understanding, the development of public diplomacy, and international humanitarian, cultural, scientific, educational, and business cooperation.

The Human Being at the Center of the New World

At the center of the substantive agenda of the Second World Public Assembly was the human being — their dignity and right to a dignified life, family and the connection between generations, culture, language, and traditions, spiritual and moral choice, the ability to trust, to create, and to bear responsibility for others and for the shared future.

The program was built around six interconnected value directions:

"Who Are We?" — the human being, their dignity, and quality of life.
Discussions were devoted to the human being as the supreme value and subject of development, humanistic leadership, quality of life, health, human capital, and responsibility for the future.

"What Is Our Foundation?" — family, traditions, and the continuity of generations.
The focus was on family, historical and ancestral memory, the continuity of generations, the preservation of traditions, the transmission of cultural and moral experience, and responsibility before future generations.

"What Do We Believe In?" — spiritual and moral values.
Participants discussed the moral and spiritual foundations of human life, interreligious dialogue, freedom and responsibility, and the creative role of culture and art.

"What Unites Us?" — the cultural and linguistic diversity of the peoples of the world.
Culture was viewed as a space for mutual understanding between peoples, the preservation of identity, and the development of international public dialogue. Special attention was given to linguistic heritage, art, cinema, and new media.

"How Do We Interact?" — trust, justice, and responsibility.
One of the central themes was trust as the foundation of sustainable interaction between people and peoples, the development of public diplomacy, and international cooperation.

"Where Are We Going Together?" — peace, cooperation, and the future of humanity.
Participants discussed the prospects for international and interregional cooperation, the role of science, education, and new technologies, and the participation of the younger generation in shaping the future.

The six directions formed a single semantic space of the World Assembly: the human being and family were considered in connection with culture and historical memory, public diplomacy with trust and responsibility, and the image of the future with science, education, technology, the youth agenda, and international cooperation.

Youth and the Future

A significant place in the program was occupied by the youth agenda.

The II International Youth Forum "Generation of Unity" became a space for open dialogue about what the new generation believes in, how public diplomacy, technology, and artificial intelligence are changing the world, and what role youth play in shaping the future.

The youth program made it possible to connect the value agenda of the World Assembly with the practical initiatives of the new generation, international contacts, and joint projects.

Media in the Service of Humanity

A separate platform for professional international dialogue was the International Media Forum "Media in the Service of Humanity."

At the center of the discussion were trust and responsibility of the media, the role of journalism in serving people and society, artificial intelligence and the reliability of information, international media cooperation, culture, and historical memory.

Participants discussed the public mission of modern media and their responsibility for the values, meanings, and image of the future formed in the global information space.

From Regional Dialogue to the World Assembly

An important part of the preparation for the Second World Public Assembly were the World Public Summits held in 2026 in India, Africa, and Latin America.

The regional platforms made it possible to present the historical and cultural experience of different regions, their value orientations, public initiatives, and visions of the future.

The results of this dialogue were continued in Moscow at the strategic session "Voices of Regions: From Initiatives to Joint Action," where proposals reflected in the Delhi Resolution, the Salvador Declaration, and the African Communiqué were considered.

Following the session, a decision was made on the further development of the geography of the World Public Summits in 2027:

World Public Summit. BRICS — India, February 2027;

World Public Summit. ASEAN — Malaysia, April 2027;

World Public Summit. China — China, April 2027;

World Public Summit. Maghreb — Morocco, May 2027;

World Public Summit. Latin America — Mexico, June 2027;

World Public Summit. Africa — Ghana, 2027;

World Public Summit. Arab World — Iraq, October 2027.

The World Public Summits are developing as a system of regional platforms for public dialogue, providing a substantive and project-based connection between the regions of the world and the flagship project of the World Peoples Assembly — the World Public Assembly.

From Trust to Partnership

One of the main practical results of the Second World Public Assembly was the connection of value dialogue with concrete forms of international cooperation.

During the days of the World Assembly, the World Peoples Assembly signed 36 agreements with organizations from 16 countries. The opening of two new representative offices of the World Peoples Assembly — in Ethiopia and Ghana — was officially approved.

The practical results create a foundation for the further implementation of humanitarian, cultural, educational, youth, scientific, public, and business projects in various regions of the world.

International Business Forum

A special place in the program was occupied by the International Business Forum, which brought together representatives of government, business, public organizations, development institutions, and the expert community.

Among the honorary participants were State Secretary of the Union State Sergey Glazyev and First Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives of Jordan Khamis Hussein Attia.

The forum's agenda was built from the formation of trust and partnerships to the exchange of practices and concrete joint projects.

Within the framework of the business program, 48 international B2B meetings were held, and partners signed 30 business agreements.

The practical results of the business forum showed how trust and international public dialogue are continued in concrete partnerships and joint actions.

31 Leaders of Public Diplomacy from 31 Countries

A landmark international project of the World Assembly was the V International Competition "Leader of Public Diplomacy," aimed at identifying, supporting, and uniting public leaders implementing initiatives in the field of public diplomacy and international humanitarian cooperation.

On the eve of the opening of the World Assembly in Moscow, a project seminar and the final stage of the competition were held. Participants presented their projects and practices of international public interaction.

Following the results of the V competition, 31 winners from 31 countries were determined. Within the framework of the Second World Public Assembly, a ceremonial award ceremony for the laureates took place.

The competition consistently forms an international community of public diplomacy leaders — people who, through concrete initiatives, projects, and personal participation, contribute to the development of trust and cooperation between people and peoples.

For Service to Humanity

One of the central events was the ceremony of awarding the Second World Public Recognition Prize "For Service to Humanity," established by the World Peoples Assembly.

The prize is a form of international public recognition of people whose ideas, activities, and life path serve peace, the strengthening of trust between peoples, the preservation of cultural and spiritual heritage, and future generations.

A substantive part of the program was the Open Conversation "Leaders Who Changed the World," which brought together the laureates of the first Prize and the 2026 nominees. At the center of the conversation were personal responsibility before society and future generations, moral leadership, service to people, and the strengthening of peace and trust between peoples.

In 2026, the laureates of the World Prize were seven representatives from six countries:

Senator of the Federative Republic of Brazil from the state of São Paulo, the first Brazilian cosmonaut, scientist, and public figure Marcos Cesar Pontes;

Pilot-Cosmonaut of the Russian Federation, Hero of the Russian Federation Valery Tokarev;

artist, sculptor, painter, master of jewelry art, and figure of international culture Lisa Sotilis;

statesman and public figure, President of the People's Democratic Republic of Yemen in 1980–1986, President of the Arab Peace Group Ali Nasser Mohammed;

Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Foundation of St. Andrew the First-Called, Doctor of Political Sciences, Professor, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Russian Federation Vladimir Yakunin;

statesman and public figure, member of the Supreme Consultative Council of the World Peoples Assembly Tokon Mamytov;

Academician of the Academy of Sciences of Cuba, Deputy Secretary-General of the World Peoples Assembly, representative of the new generation of international public leaders Fidel Antonio Castro-Smirnov.

The composition of the laureates reflects the international and intergenerational character of the Prize, uniting people of different countries, professions, and life experience around the idea of responsibility and service to the human being and future generations.

The symbolic conclusion of the ceremony was the ringing of bells in honor of the International Day of Peace, joined by the participants of the World Assembly.

Three Final Documents

The Second World Public Assembly adopted three final documents, each of which fulfills a distinct function and at the same time is part of the common logic of further interaction.

The Declaration of the Second World Public Assembly records the main results of the World Assembly, the decisions taken, and the directions for further joint action.

The document reflects the readiness of the participants to develop public diplomacy and international humanitarian cooperation, intercultural and interreligious dialogue, to preserve historical memory and cultural heritage, to strengthen the family and the connection between generations, to expand scientific, educational, and youth cooperation, and to support new public initiatives and international partnerships.

The Charter of Values of the New World reflects the common principles and moral foundations of interaction between people and peoples.

It unites the results of the World Public Summits, international expert discussions, and the work of the World Assembly and is intended to serve as a value guideline for strengthening mutual understanding, trust, peace, creation, cooperation, and shared responsibility for the future of humanity.

The Manifesto of the Second World Public Assembly affirms the human-centered nature of development and the necessity of humanitarian modernization in the context of global technological and social changes.

The three documents form a single substantive construct: The Declaration records the results and decisions, the Charter defines the value guidelines, and the Manifesto formulates a vision for the future and the humanitarian foundation for further development.

International Media Resonance

The Second World Public Assembly received broad coverage in the Russian and foreign media space.

In the period from August 1 to September 21, 2026, 1743 media publications mentioning the World Peoples Assembly were recorded. The combined reach of publications in Russia amounted to 98.8 million people, excluding social networks and the blogosphere.

Media presence outside Russia covered 30 countries: seven CIS countries and 23 countries of the far abroad. Nine television segments aired on Russian television channels.

Information work after the conclusion of the World Assembly will be aimed at presenting its substantive and practical results, international initiatives, new partnerships, and the further development of joint projects.

Secretary-General of the World Peoples Assembly Andrey Belyaninov, closing the World Public Assembly, noted:

— It is important to understand: public diplomacy is no longer a supplement to international relations, but one of the necessary instruments for preserving direct dialogue between people and peoples… For us, it is fundamentally important that the Assembly does not end with the last session. Everything we spoke about over these two days must continue in practical work: in education, science, culture, youth, and humanitarian initiatives.

From Shared Values to Joint Action

In 2025, the First World Public Assembly "New World of Conscious Unity" outlined the idea of conscious unity as the foundation of a shared future.

In 2026, the Second World Public Assembly "New World: Values That Unite" continued this line through dialogue about shared values and their role in strengthening trust and cooperation between people and peoples.

The next stage is the embodiment of shared values in concrete deeds, international initiatives, partnerships, and joint projects.

At the final session, the theme of the Third World Public Assembly of 2027 was announced — "New World: The Time of Creation".

Three key principles — conscious unity, shared values, joint action — define the vector of development of the World Public Assembly: from uniting around shared meanings to creation and shared responsibility for the future.

The Round Table "Forming a Community of Ambassadors for Peace of Traditional Values" was held on September 18, 2026, at ...
29/09/2026

The Round Table "Forming a Community of Ambassadors for Peace of Traditional Values" was held on September 18, 2026, at the World Trade Center. The event was part of the Second World Public Assembly "New World: Values That Unite," held in Moscow on September 18 - 19.

The meeting was dedicated to forming the concept of an international community uniting educators, public figures, representatives of culture, and leaders of people's diplomacy. At the center of the agenda was the search for practical ways to strengthen friendly ties through educational, youth, and cultural projects.

The initiative already has a foundation — the community of the international competition "Tell the World About Your Homeland." Over nine years, more than 31,500 people from 96 countries have taken part in it. Behind these figures are stories about native cities, family traditions, national culture, and people whose lives help one understand another country better than official reference books.

The next step is to turn the connections that have arisen around the competition into a sustainable network of cooperation. The Round Table was organized as a platform for exchanging experience and discussing mechanisms for developing the community.

Alla Shelyapina, editor-in-chief of the portal "Vezde Nashi," publicist, and public figure moderated the meeting. One of the opening questions of the discussion was how the new association differs from existing international organizations: what independent task it will address and what it can offer its participants.

— We have gathered today to unite the efforts of people who want the younger generation throughout the world to grow up in a space of traditional values and, through their actions, to make the world better and cleaner. Right now, the most important thing is to move from words to deeds: to define the concrete goal of the ambassadors' community, its practical tasks, and the projects that we will be able to implement together, — Alla Shelyapina stated.

The experience of the competitions "Tell the World About Your Homeland" and "Russia — A Country of Traditional Values" was presented by their organizer, Ekaterina Averkieva, president of the Innovation Center for the Development and Upbringing of Children and Youth. According to her, the competitions invite children and young people not simply to formulate the values that are important to them, but also to reveal them through their own story. A story about family, one's native language, a memorable place, or a national tradition becomes simultaneously a way to reflect on one's roots and an invitation to a conversation with peers abroad.

It is precisely this format that is laid as the foundation of the future community: to introduce people not to an abstract image of a country, but to its living culture through personal experience, creativity, and joint work.

— Over the years of implementing our projects, children, parents, educators, and public leaders from 96 countries have already united around them. We want to turn one-time participation in competitions into a permanently operating community where people of goodwill can support one another and together move from values to concrete actions, — Ekaterina Averkieva shared.

The international composition of the Round Table made it possible to consider the initiative from the standpoint of different cultures and social practices. Mikhos Filaniotis, chairman of the Cyprus — Russia Friendship Society, head of the Cypriot branch of the International Russophile Movement, and leader of the "Friends of Great Russia" movement, spoke about the fact that the initiative presupposes a search for points of contact without erasing national differences. Love for one's homeland, care for family, respect for elders, and responsibility before the next generation can be expressed in different ways while preserving a human meaning understandable to people from different countries.

— We face the task of creating an international community of people who consider family a value, respect their parents, are not ashamed of their culture, know the history of their country, and understand that patriotism does not mean hostility toward other peoples. The new community must not compete with already existing organizations, but rather unite and coordinate their efforts, creating joint educational, cultural, and youth projects. Its mission is to strengthen friendship and mutual respect between peoples while preserving cultural diversity and traditional values, — the speaker clarified.

A special place in the Round Table's agenda was occupied by the issue of how to cultivate love for one's homeland simultaneously with respect for other cultures. International competitions, pedagogical partnerships, and creative projects make it possible to combine these tasks: to better understand one's own heritage and to learn to see the value of another's.

— It is impossible to respect another's homeland without having learned to love your own. When a child tells someone about his village, his native city, his grandmother and grandfather, he understands for the first time: he has something to be proud of. And when such stories are heard from the lips of children from different countries, a genuine friendship of peoples is born — not on paper, but in hearts. This competition forms a reliable immunity against hatred and xenophobia, — emphasized Anicet Gabriel Kofocha, former Ambassador of Benin to the Russian Federation and laureate of the First International Bridge Awards in the nomination "Public Activity and Charity."

The concept of the initiative combines international scale with personal participation. An ambassador, in this understanding, is a person who is capable of telling about his country, hearing another, and finding an opportunity for cooperation.

The discussion was also attended by:

Natalia Soldatova — Deputy Minister of Education of the Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic, online;

Abdelhad Al-Breizat — member of the Parliament of Jordan, head of the Jordan — Russia Friendship Committee;

Lyubov Demidova — chairperson of the board of the Association "Strategic Agency for the Development of Relations with African Countries";

Olga Morozova — deputy head of the international relations department of Moscow Pedagogical State University (MPGU);

Meerim Subanbekova — president of the "Meerim Shoolasy" foundation;

Valeria Filippova — vice-president of the Center for Social Architecture "Sfera";

Tatiana Ananyina — deputy director of the Center for Film Pedagogy and Media Culture of MPGU, curator of the competitions on the part of MPGU;

Elena Avgust — head of media resources at IOT University, author of the "Code Russia" project;

Irina Penina — founder of the "IgraMedia" Limited Liability Company, chairman of the board of the Autonomous Non-Profit Organization of Additional Professional Education "Center for Education and Research";

Kirill Podyachev — leading research fellow at the Federal Research Sociological Center of the Russian Academy of Sciences;

Oleg Sorokin — deputy director of the "Higher School of Modern Social Sciences" of Lomonosov Moscow State University.

The Round Table marked a transition from many years of competition experience to a discussion of a new form of international interaction. Its prospect is to preserve the connections that have already arisen between participants from different countries and to give them continuation in joint educational, cultural, and public work.

The closing ceremony of the XXI Vladimir Menshov International Film Festival "Won Together" was held on September 23, 2026, in Sochi. The event was held as part of the Second World Public Assembly "New World: Values That Unite," organized by the World Peoples Assembly.

The festival program included 105 films from 23 countries. The works were presented in ten thematic blocks, including:

the "Memory" and "Reflection" sections of the main International Competition;

the International Student Works Competition;

the national documentary film competition;

the "Voices of Unbroken People" program;

the Valery Timoshchenko film program;

the non-competition programs "Cultural Code" and "Film Art Studio";

special screenings.

The gala ceremony was hosted by Elizaveta Baranova, curator of the festival's international programs, and Polina Popova, curator of the festival's foreign participants and guests.

The evening began with an innovation — the presentation of the "Happiness of Victory" cash prize, established by the film forum's information partner, the "Happiness Aggregator" media holding. The award's purpose is to recognize the author of the film that best demonstrated hope, resilience in difficult situations, and faith in the future.

Marina Volkova, head of the Department of Happiness of the World Peoples Assembly and the "Happiness Aggregator" Center for Sociocultural Rehabilitation and Development, took the stage to present the prize:

– Our team faced a difficult task — to choose the film that, in our opinion, each of you should see. I won't drag out the intrigue. I will simply name the film and the name of the director whose work shook us to the depths of our souls. It is the film "Deep Rear" by Pavel Pechenkin.

Marina Volkova also added that festival cinema will continue to live on after the screening's closing: the media holding is preparing a special issue of the "Happiness Aggregator" magazine. It will include materials about all the participating films, and the publication itself will be distributed both at all-Russian and international venues.

Valery Ruzin, president of the film festival, took the stage to announce the main awards. He emphasized that truly outstanding people had gathered on the jury, and the participants themselves had noted more than once during the film festival: the program turned out to be exceptionally strong — in all competitions without exception.

– It was incredibly difficult to select: applications came from more than 40 countries, that's several hundred films. Our programming directorate did colossal work, and in the end 105 films made it into the program. Separately, I want to say: this year we received a great many wonderful works dedicated to the special military operation. The theme of Donbass has been heard at our film festival for ten years now, and, unfortunately, we could not include all these films in the main competition. Therefore, we set them apart in a separate program — "Voices of Unbroken People." The authors of these films on the theme of the SMO are receiving honorary diplomas of the festival today, — Valery Ruzin stated.

One of the first to be recognized was Olga Pasko's film "Mariupol. Time for Action." Ascending the stage to receive the award, the director addressed the hall with gratitude:

– Today this news will reach our guys, everyone who is now rebuilding Mariupol — and they will have a celebration too. Remember, Mayakovsky said: "In four years, there will be a garden-city here"? Well, Mariupol became a garden-city in just two years. This is an incredibly inspiring example. And what happiness it is that thanks to the festival the whole world sees our city!

Honorary diplomas were also awarded to the film "Poets of the Military Circle" by director Vladimir Fatyanov (Russia) and the film "Call Sign 'Kaban'" by director Nikolai Prasolov (Russia).

The festival "Won Together" traditionally honors the heroes of documentary films. Director Yana Bekh (Russia) received a diploma for her hero in the film "Motherland/Mother."

The Audience Choice Award was presented to Sergei Pochin, producer of the film "War Through the Eyes of a Diver" (director Maxim Katushkin).

The International Student Works Competition awards were presented by jury members: Nicholas Rooney (United Kingdom), Laila Akhmetova (Kazakhstan), and jury chairman Vitaly Potemkin.

– I would very much like our laureates to return to us at the festival with their new wonderful films. To everyone — goodness, happiness, and love! — Vitaly Potemkin noted, addressing the winners.

The International Student Works Competition prizes were awarded to:

a special prize for a subtle exploration of the spiritual value and nobility of the labor of elderly heroes in the film "Milk and Honey," director Sara Maric (Serbia);

a special mention for the choice of a hero possessing qualities of eccentricity — the film "Tree of Life" by Aiyana Subanova (Kyrgyzstan);

a special mention for the embodiment of the poetry of dance — the film "Block" by director Maya Bitan (Israel);

a special mention for the original embodiment of the theme of craft as creativity — the film "Under Repair" by director Beatriz Machado Oliveira (Portugal);

the main prize of the student competition for an artistic exploration of the theme of the transience of material memory — the film "Echo", director Dan Grabnar (Serbia).

Liliana Kawase (Portugal) and Alexey Pishchulin announced the winners of the international competition in two key segments — "Memory" and "Reflection".

In the "Memory" segment, the Vladislav Mikosha Prize for Best Film was awarded to the film "Diary of a Scout" (director Samuel Leon, Chile).

In the "Reflection" segment, the Jemma Firsova Prize was received by the film "Tatti, Land of Dreamers" (director Ruedi Ge**er, Switzerland/Italy).

The Grand Prix of the film festival "Won Together," by decision of all the jury chairmen, was awarded to the film "Deep Rear" by director Pavel Pechenkin (Russia). To present the most eagerly awaited award, film festival president Valery Ruzin once again took the stage:

– This is a world premiere and a unique work. I watched it today for the second time and was amazed again: for all that I have lived a long life and know the history of my country well, the film revealed to me so much that was new, precise, and interesting — astonishing chronicle of the era! This is a work that showed the whole world: such a people cannot be defeated. This is the entire Soviet people, who found themselves and found happiness in Victory!

– May cultural heritage unite us, and may documentary cinema continue to tell the truth about victories — great and small! — Valery Ruzin concluded from the stage.

Let us recall that some of the film festival's prizes were presented at the gala closing ceremony of the Moscow program on September 17. The Igor Shadkhan Prize for Best Documentary and the main prize of the press jury went to the film "All Simplicity in a Direct Line" (director Irina Vasilyeva). The Svyatoslav Belza Prize for Best Film on the Theme of Culture was received by "The Keepers" (director Ella Tukhareli). The Prize of the Guild of Film Scholars and Film Critics of the Union of Cinematographers of Russia "For the Creation of a Visible Dialogue Between Literary Classics and Modernity" was awarded to the film "Chekhov's Sakhalin" by Ivan Golovnev.
