What is the ‘Remarkable Speakers’ series?

At Svitlo Education, we truly believe in the power of education and think that the best education can be achieved by learning from people with diverse backgrounds and experiences. Therefore, in our mission to educate future Ukrainian political and social leaders, we have decided to start a new series of talks called “Remarkable People.” In this series, we will be welcoming fascinating individuals who have become friends and supporters of Svitlo and are eager to share their experiences and expertise with you. The talks last about an hour and are available to access by anyone after completing the registration form.
