The week's program also included panel discussions where the relationship between vocational education and startups was discussed, as well as the role of technological innovations and the use of innovative methods to improve the quality of education.

Interactive format sessions were held within the framework of the week - representatives of participating countries presented their colleges' informational materials and projects in an exhibition format. During the exhibition, guests had the opportunity to familiarize themselves with vocational educational spaces from different countries. BNTU representatives gave a comprehensive presentation about BNTU's vocational programs and presented the university's informational and promotional materials to participants. The presentation attracted particular attention and generated interest from foreign colleagues.
