The strategic session "Geniuses of the World - leaders of public opinion beyond time and space" demonstrated an unusual approach to training and mentoring young people.
Representatives of the BRICS, SCO, EAEU, and CIS integration associations, government authorities, educational organizations, interstate and public organizations, and numerous media outlets, including the China Magazine, gathered at the session. The dialogue included representatives of the team of the brilliant researcher Fyodor Konyukhov, diplomats, writers, renowned travelers from Russia, as well as from Armenia, Vietnam, Egypt, Italy, India, China, Costa Rica, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan and other countries.

The project "Geniuses of the World - leaders of public opinion beyond time and space" was presented by the Socio-cultural Initiative "Human Time".

Anastasia Pavlova, moderator of the section, author of the Geniuses of the World project, Member of the Supreme Advisory Council of the World Peoples Assembly, playwright, teacher, international expert on educational, tourism and cultural diplomacy, revealed the main meaning of the unique educational approach:
"During his life, every person has a moment of choice: 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."
The Geniuses of the World project is a current mentoring project where great people of the past address each person. Its uniqueness lies in its exclusive lexical experience. Here, recognized geniuses of the world "speak" Russian, preserving 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. All this is accompanied by the unique music of the modern neoclassical composer, winner of international competitions Tigran Jager.

The basic thoughts of great people reveal to both young and mature minds the depths of wisdom accumulated by mankind over the centuries.
