Special attention is also paid to the professional development of teachers. The project plans to hold meetings dedicated to modern teaching methods, student motivation, and the use of artificial intelligence tools in the educational process.

The speakers of the program are leading scientists from Virginia Tech (USA) - Dr. Matthew F. Komelsky, Director of the Adaptive Brain and Behavior Minor program, and Dr. Zhou "April" Fu, a lecturer at the School of Neuroscience, whose research combines neuroscience, mindfulness, and art to support student well-being and develop resilient communities.
