MINSK, BELARUS

Minsk, Belarus

Unfortunately, the Minsk, Belarus program for 2020 has been cancelled.  We have awesome programs in Poland in 2020 and hope to have a new program serving the students in the area in 2021.

Minsk is the largest city and capital of Belarus. The Minsk Business Week program is located at a local school in Minsk. Students stay in the school dormitories during the week and work together to simulate what it is like to run their own business.

The program provides approximately 100 Belarusian students who have minimal English experience the ability to practice in an immersive setting. While they still participate in team exercises and projects, communication is the primary emphasis.

Lodging for adult volunteers is at a hotel nearby the school where the program is located. American students who attend the program will stay in the dormitories during the program and with host families before and after the Minsk Business Week program.

*Scholarships and Financial Aid are not available for our international programs.

2020 dates have been cancelled.
