“Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine deprived millions of bright Ukrainian students of the opportunity to gain education. By its very existence, Brave Generation proves that talented students from Ukraine who want to help their country despite the war have a place to find support. The program showed me how much potential the young generation of Ukrainians has. With the help of lectures by outstanding professionals from absolutely different spheres, being surrounded by motivated Ukrainians, and the support of mentors, Brave Generation has left us with no other choice but to become leaders who understand how to defend the best interests of our country and contribute our part to its restoration in the future.” -
