International experiences in the process of achieving sustainable development will also be reviewed. In addition to giving participants the opportunity to present their innovative experiences in the field of entrepreneurship, the impact of technology on the lives of youth will also be brought to the forefront of the dialogue.
Civilizations and Culture

Model United Nations
