They are students of Vinnytsia University of Trade and Economics, their associate instructors, financial workers, and those who have their own business.  It was an introduction where everybody had a chance to discuss related topics and arrange that topics which would be in a focus. As a result, the following topics will be discussed: SWOT ANALYSIS, Current Situation, Mission Statements, Introduction to Marketing, Pricing, Placement, Promotion and Positioning, Project Management.
The project “25 Books that Changed America” was opened on March, 23 (based on a book by Robert B. Downs, 25 Major Milestones in the History of American Ideas). March, 23 is a special day in the American History. It is a turning point giving impulses to the American Revolution.  That's why a discussion of Thomas Paine's Common Sense was chosen as the 1st Book that changed America. It was a presentation about Thomas Paine, his contributions with his toward the beginning of the United States as a nation. The participants (university students, financial workers, school teachers, and scholl students) (10 participants) were ready to discuss some questions realted to the American History.  Some expressions and quotations were said about the Founder of American Independence: “Thomas Paine needs no monument made by hands; he has erected a monument in the hearts of all lovers of liberty” (- Andrew Jackson).
