“Concerning TEG Democracy and Diplomacy Program in DC this summer let me express my gratitude for organizers for perfect program and great possibility to exchange views with American partners. ”

“It was a terrific experience I gained in the framework of a TEG Democracy and Diplomacy Program, summer 2016. I believe that it was a good impetus for closer cooperation with American partners and further promotion of reforms, democracy and security in Ukraine. Special gratitude for all TEG team and Alexa Chopivsky as a main doer of this really useful and interesting project... Looking forward to new mutual events.”

“I am very grateful to everyone who contributed to this project, which was organized by Alexa Chopivsky, thanks to everyone in the company, what she heads – Transnational Education Group. I’m grateful for this opportunity to get our message across to high politics of the United States of America. We had many interesting meetings – with senators, representatives of chambers of commerce and the president. A lot of meetings provided a hope that the United States are our strategic partner in the fight against the enemy in the east. I am very grateful to everyone who has given us the possibility of such communicaton, because not everyone succeeds. Our group of members of parliament, which was attended by representatives from different political parties was present at these meetings. I think we did a good job of positioning of Ukraine in the United States. But all this would not have happened if not Alexa Chopivsky and her company TEG. Therefore, I wish health, happiness and peace to all of us, and more people like Alexa Chopivsky.”

“I participated in the competition for a grant for the Washington Leadership Academy. The program is very interesting and replete, because we can not only improve our English language skills, but also learn more about American life from the inside, how this society lives, which values has. It becomes clear what these people put in priority, how they achieve their goals. The most interesting thing is certainly meetings with leaders in the fields of politics, diplomacy and international relations. We took over the large experience how to make the image of ourselves, how to establish ourselves for the employer and show our strengths, how to develop, progress in social activities, in leadership skills. Also I liked very much the fact that we were able to visit many US institutions. Invaluable experience! New friends ... I wonder how American colleagues, your peers perceive some political events, you have the opportunity to discuss with them all these things, and, of course, knowledge base will be invaluable. As a result of the program you realize that personal development does not need to stop, it is necessary to discover always something new, interesting and useful. I would like to wish to be active too, to participate, to try a variety of activities that can help you develop professionally.”

“I was the leader of a group of students in summer 2016. It was a very interesting program, a program-symbiosis: educational and informative. Students shared their impressions about the study, they liked a different system of education: other programs, other concepts, test system, the specifics associated with cases that are dealt very thoroughly. This intensive monthly program gave a very great impact on the students. And a certificate, which they have received, directly supported the acquired knowledge. I liked meetings, organized by Alexa Chopivsky. We had the opportunity to talk with members of Congress, representatives of the Ukrainian diaspora, which are involved in the assistance to Ukraine from the United States, lobbying interests of Ukraine in Congress. In general this is a very good initiative that the company TEG has implemented!”

“My son Yaroslav participated in a summer educational program «Washington Business & Diplomacy Leadership Academy 2016". It was his first trip to the United States, and he brought an unforgettable experience. He liked studying at international language school in Washington, where he had the opportunity not only to acquire new knowledge, what is important – in a practical direction (writing CV, motivational essay, etc.) but also interact with students from around the world. The program was very intensive: many meetings with interesting and successful people, visiting key US government institutions, excursions, visits to museums and learn about the history and culture of the extraordinary country - all this gives confidence and faith in the forces, produces guidelines, what they should strive in their personal growth, and in building the future of their country. Also Yaroslav had the best impressions from living with an American family, they very sincerely cared about him. I want to express my deep gratitude to Transnational Education Group and personally Alexa Chopivsky for the perfectly organized trip and provided a grant for the educational program. Also I express my sincere gratitude to the Director of the program in Ukraine Darina Kirilko, which helped in solving many issues related to the organization of the trip. I can recommend the program «Washington Business & Diplomacy Leadership Academy» for students high school students, because the program is really very useful and interesting.”

“My son George was impressed by the program. He liked it very much, he got the inspiration, he developed a clear plan for the future. He intends to go to study in the US, so the program has helped prioritize and learn a lot of new information. George also found new friends, they communicate so far. I am grateful to the company TEG that I saw a clear change in my son, the program pushed him, you inspired him. And I hope that now with this energy he will achieve his goals.”

“I’m really confident that I went to the US like a shy, quite person, but I’m going back to Ukraine without any barrier of speaking. TEG changed myself and now I’m not afraid about my future.”

“The TEG program taught me to be more active, determined and hard-working.”

“From the bottom of the heart we want to tell you MANY MANY MANY THANKS for the marvelous and unforgettable program you have organized for our children.
To say that it was fantastic, means to say nothing! The experience Alina obtained is so valuable and important for her, that it can hardly be described by words. She has changed her attitude to many things, she is not afraid to speak the language now, even her values have changed. And to say nothing about new friends and people she met, and emotions which she is overwhelmed with!! And this all is worth a million!
We spent all night through today listening to her numerous stories, looking through almost a thousand photos and enjoying every single minute of this communication. She literally poured her emotions on us, she is so excited and wanted to tell everything at one go. ☺ But the climax and summary of all were her words (quote: “Mom, TEG has changed me and my life!”
And many thanks to you for that! “

“I have no words to describe how grateful I am for the program for our children! That was amazing! I’m happy to share my impressions and I encourage all the parents I know to apply for your program.
Frankly speaking, the program’s overcome my personal and my son Iegor’s expectations :) He said, he had realized, what he wanted to do for living but he then went to bed after the flight, so I’m going to find out about that tomorrow ;)
Thank you again, ready to promote and support you in every possible way!”

“It's my second time traveling to the US with TEG. But not as just a tourist, as one may think.
After a powerful boost of inspiration and new ideas during the winter educational program, I was seriously thinking about coming to the States again. I was lucky enough to get to the TEG Internship program. As a student of international relations, I was interested in getting a position in that sphere. And guess what! I got the chance to work on Capitol Hill, the place full of world known politicians and ambitious young professionals interested in politics. That was an amazing experience for me! Thank you, TEG, for making dreams come true!”

“If anyone ever asks me again whether I would be willing to go on the TEG program ever again, my answer would be absolutely and utterly positive. TEG provides you with a unique and exclusive insight into the US, covering every aspect from food to politics, and hence completely differentiates itself from other organisations. Most importantly though, TEG enables you to achieve personal growth and it has certainly helped me to develop my leadership skills, as well as gave me confidence to pursue my aspirations.
My program was actually comprised of two parts. In the morning, I was interning at the Ukrainian National Information Service, an organisation which advocates for Ukraine in the US. In the afternoon, I was given an incredible opportunity to meet the world’s leading politicians, diplomats and businessmen, as well as visit the most famous American landmarks. Over the course of the program, for instance, I had the chance to personally meet and negotiate with the US congressmen, contribute to solving the current crisis in the Ukraine and simply have some fun touring the National Mall with a great group of like-minded peers. This list is by no means definitive and I would simply have to write a dissertation to finish it off.
Overall though, I have not only gained rewarding experience on the program, but I have managed to explore a completely different part of the world, as well as make life-long friends. Therefore I don’t only recommend you to go on one of the TEG programs, but I simply insist you do, as you have to try it out for yourself!”

“I am very grateful to all Camp America team for the opportunity for my son to plunge into American culture and ‬‬‬spend time in the Carpathians with pleasure and benefit. For my son it was the first memorable experience to learn English‬‬‬‬ with native speakers. He came home with the idea to learn the language better and better, because next Camp America he wants ‬‬‬‬to communicate freely with the USA teachers. Danil fell in love with American traditions and holidays and requires that our family ‬‬‬‬also should celebrate Halloween and Thanksgiving. In general, for me as the mother of the camper, the best result is a happy ‬‬‬‬and inspired child. ‬‬‬‬Thank you one more time. See you at next Camp America!‬‬‬‬”

“Sometimes it happens so in life that you appear in different wonderful world for a while. The only thing you understand after coming back is that you’ll never be the same again.”

“Thank you, we’re happy. I’ve been to “the best” Ukrainian camp, but it appeared to be far not as good as Camp America. At Camp America it is easier to wake up and more fun to fall asleep; another thing I liked is that you don’t have to sleep during the quite time! Camp America is full of different activities including the English classes. We will definitely take part in all the Camp America events. We love you!”

" These two weeks were the most exciting in my life. I think that all adventures that we had there, made our team better in different ways and showed some of our strong points. I believe that such great experience definitely can’t be missed. After this trip, I understood that the main resource is people and you need to invest in them, so I encourage you to make your first step to invest in yourselves. "

" These were probably the best two weeks of my life. We met a lot of interesting people, who can change one’s outlook and motivate not only with their deeds or ideas, but also with their life stories. The program was created for leaders, for those who want to get ahead, for those who want to be the best. The trip has influenced me more than I could have expected. Thank you, Transnational Educational Group! "

"Our daughter opened up new horizons for herself, she got even more confident. Sasha really liked the USA, she was especially impressed by the diversity of cultures."

"Thank you TEG for the amazing program! 100% dipping into US life: new people, discoveries, impressions! There are enough memories for an entire life. Plus, there was intensive practice in the usage of the language and understanding how to become an American student."

"Being a mother of a future leader, I can tell with confidence and confirm that the educational program  provided by TEG is effective, and most importantly - productive. I have noticed great changes in my daughter's attitudes and accomplishments."

"I would like to thank the TEG team for a wonderful program. My son is delighted - he finally knows what he wants his future to look like. This project, as well as the way it is organized, is unique. TEG faces a great future. I will definitely recommend all of my friends to join this fantastic program."

"You were right. The TEG leadership program has changed my daughter's worldview."

"I enjoyed the TEG program a great deal. We've started changing ourselves, and everything around us. This is very important. Thank you!"

"I'm very grateful to TEG, as what you are doing is incredibly important. It has been an unbelievable experience in my life. I would never have had this sort of experience, if I had taken part in a normal language school abroad."

"I'm really thankful to TEG for giving me the opportunity to see Washington, DC with my own eyes. I am confident that everyone would dream of this experience. Here I have met a lot of incredible people, and if I had the opportunity, I would participate in this program every year."

"... Since I was a child and learned to watch American films, I always dreamed of going to the United States, but my biggest challenge was to overcome myself and go through a 10-hour flight. It was worth it!

Having struggled with long-distance-flight fears, I started searching for US programs which could give me access to both sightseeing tours and international growth opportunities. Frankly speaking, for a person who has traveled to most European countries, America seemed the country of mega opportunities.

Thanks to the TEG Western Diplomacy program, opportunities organized by a team of incredible professionals and my good friends Alexa and Anastasiya, I was able to improve my English and get insight into city life in Washington, DC and New York City. I met international leaders whose valuable recommendations may help me enter an American university and land a job. I daily met top-class leaders from various fields of business, finance, entrepreneurship, journalism, diplomacy, foreign policy, and government, getting new, first-hand insight and experience. I also took part in think-tank sessions which were led by world-class leaders, and was honored to be present at a reception of ambassadors and share my thoughts about the current situation in Ukraine. We went to US Congress, the Pentagon, World Bank,  New York Stock Exchange and Wall Street, did a campus tour of leading universities and gained many other exciting experiences.

It is worth mentioning that apart from a high-level meeting schedule, we managed to soak up a sense of the nightlife, went shopping and felt free, because we all made good friends.

To sum up, I would say: "It's better to see it once, than to hear about it a hundred times. Do not miss your chance!"
