Business programme

In today's world, women are leaders, entrepreneurs, lawmakers, and scientists, encompassing diverse roles. They are also mothers, shouldering the crucial responsibility of raising future generations. This role holds immense significance not just for women personally but also for the entire country and its standing on the global stage. However, Russia's voice is being increasingly silenced, often in defiance of common sense. Consequently, there is an increasing need to bring up children who will be driven to contribute to the country's strength and prosperity. Who better than women to carry out this task? Who can raise a generation that does not succumb to hardship, but is able to cope with it, is proud of its homeland and can defend its interests? Who, while men are “putting out" already existing sources of tension, will take care of building a new world where there will be no room for such economic and social "fires"?
