Charity Competition of Architects encourages young talents

The Charitable Foundation “Boris Kolesnikov Foundation”, as part of its statutory activities, is implementing a charity competition in the field of “Education and Science” during October 01, 2014 – April 30, 2018.

All project participants had to register in advance, submit applications, a resume of the established form, including a professional Linkedin profile with special LinkedIn badges marking, as well as a demonstration of layouts ended in 2014.

Some participants in the project noted that for them it was a completely new and exciting experience:

“It was an amazing experience to have your own English-language business profile in the most popular business-oriented social network – it’s really not what you think about during your classes.”

“I am really very poor at compiling a resume. I’m afraid without the help of my friend and the help of this service https://lpws.pro/ I would not be able to participate in this project. At school I even asked my neighbor to write an essay for me. It is unlikely that I should try to create a professional Linkedin profile. “

Goals and objectives of the project

The charity competition is implemented with the aim of promoting the development of science and education in order to help students of the architectural industry, their encouragement to professional growth.

Project Description

As part of the competition, the Foundation annually provides an opportunity for a group of the best students of specialized higher educational institutions, preparing specialists in the architectural industry, to visit the Tokyo Design Week in Tokyo.

During their stay at the Design and Architecture Week in Tokyo, students get acquainted with advanced technologies and industry innovations, meet with specialists, communicate with students from other countries of the world, hold business meetings in the offices of architectural and design studios in the capital of Japan and visit objects of architectural significance.
