Leaders. They initiate change and help new leaders to be discovered through communities
What’s a community?
An environment of trust and support. Where everyone can expand their horizons and achieve success
What does Rybakov Foundation do?
Since 2015, Rybakov Foundation promotes systemic change in education, most notably by discovering leaders and maximizing their potential through ecosystem projects, as well as supporting school, entrepreneur, women-focused, teacher and parent communities
In 2021, Rybakov Foundation became the Russian hub for the global decentralized movement EdHeroes
“Education is all about dialogue, cultural engagement, intergenerational interactions. Our successors require education to adopt our values and ways of doing things. We also require education because, sooner or later, we discover within ourselves the need to share our experiences. To put it simply, every person is a teacher, every teacher is a student!”
Ekaterina Rybakova
Founders
“We are in constant need of self-improvement. And if our knowledge isn’t limited to theoretics but improves wellbeing and life satisfaction, then we’re all the better for it! I’m certain that education is the most reliable way of influencing the world. Teaching, sharing knowledge, helping students grow — these are our major goals. A person needs to work together with like-minded individuals to become truly strong. We can’t do it on our own! It’s about being a part of a community where people think and learn together and support each other. Where does strength originate? In the people around us.”
