Experts from the Beinopen Institute say that the fourth industrial revolution will introduce new technologies into the fashion industry in the coming decades, and the winners of this race will rewrite history. The full transition of the regional fashion and light industry to a new ecological and technological development model will make it possible to switch from a one-stop shop service and the assembly of a professional community to a digital factory, on-demand production, and an international exhibition.

Creative industries include heritage, culture, art, IT, digital, media, fashion, architecture, and creative R&D. Such cross-sectoral approach is predicated on new types of socioeconomic interaction, contributes to the success of territories and states, and is becoming one of the most important focuses for the development of the economy and society. In addition, the local aspect and one’s location play an important role in the development of creative industries. Each region of the Russian Federation is the custodian of a part of Russia’s unique cultural code. This code is formed from a variety of local traditions, including folk arts and crafts as well as traditional art industries created on their basis. These industries are currently viewed as an important component of creative industries – the most promising and rapidly developing sector of the economy in the modern world. And the preservation and development of folk arts and crafts and their introduction into creative industries specifically depend on the proactive position of the regions. How can we lay the groundwork for the creation of unique regional brands and modern products based on folk arts and crafts in the Far Eastern, Siberian, and Ural Federal Districts?

2021 is the International Year of the Creative Economy for Sustainable Development.
2022–2032 is the International Decade of Indigenous Languages

Creative industries are a sector of the economy that unites creative businesses, many of which reflect and promote the values of local communities as well as preserve and promote heritage and traditions. Creative industries are able to create new meanings and values where different themes and disciplines intersect and draw increasing attention to things in the world that might otherwise go unnoticed.
Language plays a decisive role in everyday life, communication, education, and social integration. But language is also a repository of the unique identity, folklore, history, traditions, and memory of each person. Of the nearly 7,000 languages that exist, most are indigenous languages, which represent much of the world’s cultural diversity. Many of these languages are gradually disappearing, which is tantamount to the loss of some of the cultural diversity and the ecological, economic, and socio-cultural contribution that they make to our world.
We can preserve languages and develop linguistic and cultural diversity in part through creative industries that invent new things both in the space of traditions and in cyberspace.
- What projects to preserve indigenous languages already exist in cyberspace? What is the potential for the development of such projects?
- What projects can be implemented at the federal, regional, and municipal levels?
- Which of the existing approaches will be in demand? Reading contests in indigenous languages? Supporting indigenous writers, bloggers, authors, and performers? How can these approaches be encouraged and developed?
- What support is needed for federal and regional sectoral research working on ethnic materials?
