The Second All-Russian Forum of social innovations of the regions took place in Krasnogorsk on the 8th June 2017. The programme director of Taganka children's fund Sergey Borzov did a presentation on the new techniques in prevention of family disadvantage during the panel discussion on project management in the social sphere. He particularly focused on the experience of cooperation with the Tomsk state university on the project "The Territory of unity: together for strengthening the family", which is funded by the grant of the Committee of public relations of the city of Moscow. Suggested methods of cooperation between the socially-oriented NGOs and state institutions in the area of developing services for children and families at risk were positively received by the participants of the forum. Several participants have followed up with TCF after the forum and suggested discussing cooperation.

Taganka children's fund has taken part in the celebration at Shkolnaya street on the occasion of the Day of Protection of Children. TCF has shared information about its services and programmes, as well as presented the produce of the Warm-Hearted workshop.

Taganka Shed inclusive theatre company has celebrated the close of the season by holding an Open Lesson for a varied audience of participants, who have seen for themselves that getting involved in creative activities is a very effective way for developing children's skills, personalities, initiative and relationship building, self-realisation and opportunities to express themselves, to find new potential, to learn communication skills and accept each other as we are.

We invite you to participate in the amazing celebration on the 1st June 2017 at Shkolnaya street at 10am. Circus, zoo, master-classes, competitions and quizzes, as well as lots of sweets for children are all in the programme of the event. Please come join us on the day! It will be great fun!

Taganka children's fund has taken part in the VIII Moscow forum "Our Moscow - making the city together", organised by the Public Chamber of the city of Moscow and the Committee of Public relations of the city of Moscow. The programme director of TCF Sergey Borzov has moderated the discussion panel "There is a way out in the difficult situation", which included socially-oriented NGOs, state organisations in the sphere of social protection, education, police, union and citizens. The discussion led to constructive results, including preparation of specific proposals and recommendations for the Moscow Government.

Members of Rostochek group together with group leaders have attended the children's music performance " The Toys Escape" at the Anton Chekhov private theatrical company. The Theatre is working on the socially important project - "The Theatre Helps in Training, Development and Social Adaptation of children" funded by the presidential grant. Rostochek participants received a practical lesson on social adaptation on transport and at the theatre. Following the event, children have exchanged their impressions and favourite moments from the performance. Taganka children's fund would like to heartily thank the Anton Chekhov Private Theatrical Company for the great pleasure that the children have received from this event.

Taganka children fund's programmes on professional development of the socially-oriented NGOs were presented by TCF's programme director Sergey Borzov at the Impulse of the Social Changes Forum, that took place on the 15-17 May. The presentation was made at the working group "New approaches to the regional family policies". First results of the joint work of TCF and the National research Tomsk state university on developing innovative methods of preventive social work with dysfunctional families have received recognition of the participants of the Forum. It was noted that our proposed methods of cooperation between the socially-oriented NGOs and state institutions, which were developed based on the experience gained by TCF in its work with Department of labour and social protection have both the practical value as they raise the services quality level provided to families at risk and contribute to formation of favourable conditions to improve access of socially-oriented NGOs to the market of social services. The following steps will include presentation of project at the 2nd Social Forum in Krasnogorsk.
