The forum’s participants will review the results not only of the past year of work, but of the movement’s entire activity over the last three years.
The forum is a traditional ONF event. This year, it will take place at the same time as the ONF congress, also an annual event since the founding congress in June 2013.
More than 1,000 people are expected to take part in the event, including federal and regional ONF experts, activists and ‘popular overseers' from across the country. Executive branch officials, State Duma deputies and journalists have also been invited to attend.
Seven thematic events will take place on the forum’s sidelines: An Honest and Effective Economy, Social Justice, Society and Government, Education and Culture, Quality of Everyday Life, Environment and Forest Protection, and For Honest Public Procurement. The discussions’ results and prospects for ONF further activities will be presented to Mr Putin at the forum’s plenary session.
