I want to thank all the teachers, organizers, employers who participate in the implementation of the Ticket to the Future project and in the preparation of the lessons "Russia — My Horizons". We prepare these lessons together with you, with the Humanitarian Projects Foundation, with the "Knowledge" Society.
