Education of my dream initiative

We organize lectures by high-ranking speakers, at different Universities and high schools all over the world fostering cooperation with scientific society.

Our cooperation includes joint expertise. Scientists and experts participate also at Youth Time events (experts, jury members, guests).

Latest lectures were held at HEC Paris School of Management, and Higher School of economics, Prague.

What is the ideal system of education? It is no secret that today, in the 21 century, with the development of information systems and high technology, the advent of distance learning opportunities the learning becomes much easier and more interesting.
