SharingSeliger 2010 is a place where world leaders of today meet world leaders of tomorrow to share their experience and get new ideas. Do you want to be there to be heard and to make a difference?
Four Components of Seliger 2010
• Who said top-level educational events and world summits should only take place on campuses or in glass and steel jungles of modern cities? Did they ever try doing it in a camp? To change your living and working environment you need to get out of it and look at it from a different perspective. Seliger is perfect for that.
Why not?
• Russia has been a civilizational bridge between the East and the West for centuries. Historically a multiethnic country, Russia is home for over a hundred various ethnic groups and all world religions. It is a perfect place to initiate global cross-cultural dialogue.
This is where the East meets the West
• Russia has a unique culture that has become a synthesis of European and Asian cultures, traditions and values. Russia has been a birthplace for world famous writers, musicians, artists, scientists and athletes. Visiting Russia means immersing yourself into its art, history and culture and you don’t want to miss this opportunity.
Unexplored and unexplained Russian culture
• Organizing an event like this one is not easy. It takes energy, political will, financial resources and unwavering belief in the collective power of ambitious, intelligent, and enterprising young people. We have all that and all we need for the forum to succeed is you!
Where else? Where else can you find 3000 people from
different countries? There is simply no other camp like this
one…
