YOU WILL GET A CHANCE TO

  1. Form a “helicopter view” of the functioning of the state apparatus and a professional vision of the ways of its transformation for the speedy restoration of Ukraine

STATE-BUILDERS OF THE NEW FORMAT SHOULD AVOID MANY THINGS. I WILL MENTION THREE MAIN ONES. THE FIRST IS NOT TO BE INDIFFERENT. THE SECOND IS TO CONSTANTLY IMPROVE YOURSELF, REGARDLESS OF YOUR AGE. AND THE THIRD IS TO ALWAYS THINK THAT YOU SHOULD ALWAYS CHOOSE A PLACE IN THE HISTORY OF UKRAINE BETWEEN SOME ILLUSORY MONETARY REWARD AND A PLACE IN HISTORY

Ruslan Stefanchuk, Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine

  1. Form your own vision on the future of the state
  2. Build communications with senior government officials
