The aim of the Project is to find gifted teenagers for establishing relations between local and foreign schools and schoolchildren, for educational and cultural exchange between our and foreign students, for providing support and assistance to our students for their study abroad.
In 2003-2004, support by the Ministry of Education of Azerbaijan Republic and the American Council on International Education ACCELS, we held the Competition “Looking for Talents”, which was the first stage of the Project. More than 5000 students studying at different grades ranging from 6 to 10, from 300 secondary schools of Azerbaijan took part in this competition, and those who reached the finals, could continue their study at courses and special trainings.
