1. Primary Sources Sources we consult to verify information before publication: — official websites and social media channels of the venues; — theaters, museums, and cultural centers; — event organizers; — websites of ministries and municipal institutions; — Rosmolodezh and youth opportunity platforms. For example, the Ministry of Youth Affairs of Dagestan publishes events, forums, and youth program plans, while the Rosmolodezh platform aggregates forums, grants, and other opportunities.

2. Aggregators We use these to search for information: — Culture.ru; — Yandex Afisha; — ticketing services; — city event listings. They help quickly locate events, but the data must still be verified with the primary source.

3. Local Media and Telegram — NODA; — «Eto Kavkaz» — local event listings — city and cultural Telegram channels. For example, «Eto Kavkaz» has a dedicated section on youth, local heroes, culture, and new projects in the North Caucasus.

4. User-Generated Content — classroom messages; — local project proposals; — «suggest an event» forms; — reader recommendations. Such data is never published automatically and is first reviewed by the editorial team.

1. Do Not Assume Information If a source lacks a price, time, address, or deadline, the system should display:«information not specified»rather than attempting to fill in the field independently.2. Always Preserve the Source Every piece of information must retain: — URL; — source name; — date information was obtained; — date of last verification.3. Separate Searching from Verification Telegram, aggregators, and social networks can be used for initial event discovery.However, the date, price, location, and registration must be confirmed through an official source whenever possible.4. Do Not Post Automatically AI can prepare: — a draft; — a headline; — a brief description; — the selection structure. But publication is only possible after human review.5. Do Not Alter Meaning for Aesthetic Text Automation must not: — invent quotes; — exaggerate the significance of an event; — label a project as «leading, ” „best, ” or „unique“ without justification; — change dates or figures; — present a hypothesis as fact.

AI can — shorten text — rewrite an announcement in plain language — create a headline — organize information into cards — group events into compilationsAI cannot — independently confirm accuracy — invent missing data — decide what to publish — choose an event based solely on popularity
