Reports and lectures of key managers and experts, youth discussions, round tables and other events of the business program are planned.
«One of the traditions of the World Petroleum Congresses, which has become an integral part of the WPC Youth Forums, is the wide involvement of volunteers in the reception and escort of guests, – says Vlada Streletskaya, director of the WPC Russian National Committee. – Volunteers play an important role in creating an atmosphere of hospitality and constructive communication. But equally important is the fact that the volunteer movement expands the range of young professionals involved in professional discussions.»
To participate in the 6th Future Leaders Forum, a volunteer team of 400 people is being formed. Applications are accepted from young men and women under the age of 35 who are professionally connected to the oil and gas industry. The main burden will lie on the representatives of Russia. But in the team there will be also volunteers from other countries – their nominations will be offered by the relevant national committees of the WPC.
Volunteers will work 3-4 hours a day, so there will be enough time for participation in activities and informal communication. At the same time, the volunteers will have to pay only the road to St. Petersburg and back. Accommodation, meals, participation in the Forum and even special equipment will be free for them.
Applications will be accepted until 1 December. Then there will be a competitive selection of applicants. The commission will examine the motivational letters of candidates and their “track records”, the level of English language proficiency will be taken into account as well. The results will be announced by 1 March. For the selected volunteers several trainings for teamwork, program knowledge and orienteering will be held.
