Participating in the ceremony from the lyceum were: Alexander Gennadievich Saybedinov, Director of the Lyceum, People's Teacher of the Russian Federation, Honorary Member of the Russian Academy of Education (RAO); Tatyana Nikolaevna Beikova, Deputy Director for Artistic and Aesthetic Education; Vladislav Alexandrovich Saybedinov, Head of Scientific Laboratories; and Tatyana Borisovna Gerasimenko, Head of the Center for Professional Development.

The subject of cooperation includes research on the effectiveness of pedagogical technologies implementing the concept of emotional education, testing tools for diagnosing the psychological resources of schoolchildren to form their personalized educational trajectories, and building psychological-pedagogical support.

Alexander Gennadievich Saybedinov noted that the concept of emotional education is extremely relevant in the current situation, where the serious challenge of artificial intelligence has been added to the traditional challenges of mass schooling, which focuses on knowledge transmission and exam preparation.

Sergey Gennadievich Kosaretsky expressed confidence that reliance on the methodology of the evidence-based approach in the social sphere, offered by MSUPE, will strengthen the existing trust of the educational community in theoretically grounded innovations in the field of developing creative thinking and personal resources of adolescents, and will widely use them in psychological-pedagogical education.
