Join us on a unique journey through St. Petersburg and the world-famous towns of the Leningrad Region: Vyborg, Kronstadt, and Peterhof.
This is a combination of discovery and education: participants will learn how to set goals correctly, make plans to achieve them, and reflect on results — all in both Russian and English!
Dates: June 22–28, 2022
