The strategic section "Human Time: Geniuses of the World – Opinion Leaders Beyond Time and Space" will be held as part of the WPA.

The names of Confucius, Leonardo da Vinci, Makhtumkuli Fragi, Mahatma Gandhi, Cheops and other great people are the names of true opinion leaders whose influence on the consciousness of peoples and countries transcends time and space. In addition, the geniuses’ legacy serves as an important reference point for modern mentoring of young people, offering answers to a wide variety of questions. The key goal of the section is to bring together professionals who study and update this heritage with the requests of representatives of the younger generation.

Anastasia Pavlova, moderator of the section, author of the project "Geniuses of the World - Leaders of Public Opinion beyond time and space", Member of the Supreme Advisory Council of the World Public Assembly, playwright, teacher, member of the Union of Journalists of Russia, international expert on educational, tourism and cultural diplomacy, revealed the main highlight of the unique educational approach:
«Every person has a moment of choice in his life: what should I do, what kind of people should I communicate with, and where should I go next? These questions arise regardless of age, status, or nationality. To make the right decision, you need the advice of a wise and experienced mentor who will guide, support and dispel doubts. From century to century, people travel thousands of kilometers and wait for hours for meetings to hear the most important words that will help in life. A day of communication with a wise man can become one of the main ones in life. "Geniuses of the World" is a current mentoring project where great people of the past turn to each of us. Its uniqueness lies in its exclusive lexical experience. We imagine how the Geniuses of the World could communicate if they spoke Russian, but maintaining their national style: Confucius — in the style of ancient Chinese treatises, Leonardo — in the Tuscan dialect, Makhtumkuli — in the traditions of the historical Turkmen language, and so on. There will also be unique music dedicated to the Geniuses of the World, specially written by modern neoclassical composer, winner of international competitions Tigran Jager.».
Experts and speakers from Vietnam, Egypt, India, Italy, China, Russia, Turkmenistan, and France are expected to take part in the "Geniuses of the World" session. Among them:

 - Bai Si Hong, Professor at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, essayist, critic and translator of fiction;
 - Dr. Dea Helme, Chairman of the Arab Federation of Vocational Training;
- Kesho Javadi, Secretary General of the Music Association of India and other prominent international public figures.
Also invited:
- Maxim Dreval, General Director of the Russian Society "Znanie";
- Vladimir Khotinenko, Soviet and Russian film director, screenwriter, film actor, teacher and TV presenter. People's Artist of the Russian Federation, Head of the Department of Directing at the All-Russian State Institute of Cinematography (VGIK), Professor.

The main purpose of the discussion is to stimulate the study of the heritage of the greatest people on the planet, which is more relevant today than ever.

The International Youth Educational Club "Geniuses of the World – Leaders of public Opinion of today" will be launched at the strategic session of the World Public Assembly.

The socio-cultural initiative "Human Time" was established in 2021. It is an unprecedented combination of unique lexical and musical content dedicated to the Great People of the planet. Russian-speaking and Russian-learning student communities from all over the world are the target audience of the project.

The compilation of rhymed text in Russian in the national style of the Geniuses of the world with specially created music gives a unique emotional effect that motivates young people to explore the world heritage with interest and be charged with wisdom and peacefulness.
