Past Speakers
Today SCOLAR is an important part of the overall mechanism of youth organisations in the SCO countries. SCOLAR has established itself as an effective tool to represent the "Shanghai Spirit" and understand the system of interactions within the SCO
Sergey KanavskiyExecutive Secretary of SCO Business Council 
This is an invaluable experience that will be useful for every student studying international relations because all knowledge and skills are better perceived in practice than in theory. Model SCO brought me a lot of positive emotions and interesting acquaintances

AGORA in Qingdao was as always on the top of its execution. The unparalleled combination of speakers and audience creates a unique atmosphere in the true spirit of SCO. The city of Qingdao adds it’s flavor, and probably will become a hub for many SCO activities in the future
Evgeniy KosolapovPermanent Representative of Skolkovo in China 
AGORA conference is an amazing place and opportunity to exchange new ideas and experiences. It’s more about the SCO region which shares similar background, culture, and history, different from other forums mostly associated with the developed countries. AGORA unites young people with brilliant minds and unique personalities, which gives me hope for the brighter future together

Today SCOLAR is an important part of the overall mechanism of youth organisations in the SCO countries. SCOLAR has established itself as an effective tool to represent the "Shanghai Spirit" and understand the system of interactions within the SCO.
In a dynamically changing world, we experience firsthand the emergence of regional formations based on shared values and aspirations. SCOLAR is a part and parcel of the change we envision in the SCO region. It is a prototype of a highly sought-after community of young leaders which we all strive to replicate across our region.
