The main feature of the educational track is that, together with members of the International Organizing Committee, laureates from previous years from different countries will act as expert-mentors. They will help each contestant discover their project and personal potential, choose the strongest defenses, and prepare participants who have passed this stage to participate in the World Public Assembly.

The formation of the Contest’s traditions and the mentoring system is a new stage in the implementation of the international project.
"The main strength of our new mentoring institute lies in its unique international nature and practical focus. Participants receive support not only from recognized experts, but also from those who have gone through this path themselves — laureates from different countries. This allows the contestants not only to improve their projects, but to see them through the prism of broad international experience, discuss the nuances of intercultural interaction and prepare for the real challenges of the finals, which will be held at the World Public Assembly. This approach makes the preparation incredibly valuable and targeted", — Natalia Zabolotskikh, Coordinator of the International Competition "Leader of Public Diplomacy", President of the Eurasian Center for Project Initiatives.
The educational track of the Contest includes project protection, testing and writing the final essay. The finalists of the Contest will be determined in August following the results of all tasks and then, they will be invited to the final, which will take place on the sidelines of the World Public Assembly on September 20−21 in Moscow.
