«Comment vous appelez-vous?», – this is how monsieur Andre was getting acquainted with the children.

Once monsieur Andre found on the shore of the English Channel mysterious messages in bottles and took them to Ulyanovsk on March 21st  to the launch of the new Corporate University project “Entertaining management for kids and adults”…

60 participants of the project – the children of the company employees and the pupils of Istochnik School had to find a common language with the mysterious foreigner, and following the Captain Grant children they had to guess the riddle of the blurred by the sea coordinates. The participants managed the task brilliantly and guessed that the messages contained the encoded names of the cities where Volga-Dnepr Group has its offices.
The first class of the project was meant to get the kids familiar with the global company. They learnt about traditions of the countries of VD presence. And at the end of the day, having overcome all the challenges, they got the “boarding passes” of the project participants.

Latitude or longitude? It wasn’t easy to guess the city by its coordinates. But the teams managed it!

– We first wanted to show the children how global the company was. But then we realized the importance of the ability to “build bridges”, to speak the same language with our customers and colleagues from different countries, – explained monsieur Andre, part time sales manager, VDA, Andrey Gulyayanovsky. –  And I think we managed it.

Andrey speaks fluently three languages and communicates with the company customers around the world. He was honored to conduct the first class of the project.

To foster a new VD generation the project “Entertaining management for kids and adults” includes classes with the company executives and the key specialists. The project is meant to familiarize the participants with the secrets of the company success, to encourage their understanding of such values as labour, health, safety, development, family, honesty, to show them the amusing world of adulthood, to help them chose their future professions.

The results of the project will be announced in May 2017. The best participants will be granted presents and supervision of mentors as a chance to learn from the company best specialists!
