Elizabeth FandorinaFashion and cinema lecturer. Philosopher (Herzen University), Film Critic (SPbU)

Я всегда ищу интересные подходы к подаче материала: об истории Японии можно рассказать через «Наруто», о синтоизме — с помощью покемонов, а заинтересовать немым кино можно через фильмы Уэса Андерсона. У любого вашего любимого фильма есть связь с шедеврами прошлого: например, невозможно говорить о Тарантино без Альфреда Хичкока и Джона Форда. Через кинематограф я пришла к еще одному научному интересу — костюму в кино. Об этой теме невозможно говорить без полного понимания истории моды. Мода — это не только фасоны платьев и высота каблуков. Это драматичные истории кутюрье, моделей и обычных людей. Это события мировых масштабов, которые нашли отражение в новых моделях сумок и украшений. Поэтому о появлении мини-юбки я рассказываю через первый полет человека в космос, а о платьях Versace — через историю Древнего Рима. Я хочу делиться своей страстью со всеми. Я уверена, что режиссеры прошлого были бы в восторге от современного кино: тот же великий Эйзенштейн точно стал бы фанатом 3D и аймаксов. А Клеопатра в исполнении Элизабет Тейлор стала концом целой эпохи кинематографа, одновременно проложив путь новому идеалу красоты. Почему? Об этом я расскажу на моих курсах!

Ekaterina SkvortsovaEducation: St. Petersburg State University: Bachelor's degree in Sociology, Master's degree in Social Communications Place of work: individual entrepreneur — training and consulting on communications. Former head of HR at EvercodeLab, ex-head of internal communications at Sveza (Severgroup holding) Author of the telegram channel «Katya makes the conversation»

My main motivation as a lecturer is to teach people to communicate in a way that has a positive impact on their quality of life. Without communication, you can’t go anywhere: at work, in everyday life and with loved ones. High-quality communication allows us to make useful contacts, build strong relationships and climb up the career ladder. I'm not shy about making jokes, giving poignant examples, using memes. I always speak to my students honestly and bluntly. The result decides! Just listening to a lecture is already great, but in order not to panic in a real conversation, you need to practice. At my trainings there is a lot of practice, independent tasks, there are ready-made diagrams and checklists that a person can save and rehearse. I will be glad to teach you how to negotiate and get the most out of communication with others.

Elizaveta KovalenkoMarketer at St. Petersburg State University of Economics and ITMO, teacher

Since childhood, I didn’t want to skip advertising: I was fascinated by the fact that one video can convince a person to buy something. Marketing is an art, only in a much more accessible and expansive way: it provides a direct opportunity to influence people and improve the world. My goal is to explain complex things in simple terms and present the material with humor. I think laughter brings people together. My strength is that I am easy on myself. I love answering questions, clarifying and explaining. This gives tone. My lectures will help you look at marketing differently. Viewers will learn to make purchasing decisions not only based on the “like/dislike” principle, but to find their values in brand communications and understand how they influence the world.

Maya DemidovaTheta practitioner, psychotherapist, professional coach

I apply all the knowledge, first of all, on myself, in order to be a shoemaker with boots and share not just theory, but experience. I explain important things in simple language, giving examples familiar to everyone. Every day I explore how we can, through work with the psyche, influence the results we get in life. I am a fanatic of my profession, and I am in love with the process through which life is greatly changed. I love to reveal in my clients and students the potential, talents, and strengths that they already have. I will help you work through negative financial attitudes and start making money doing what you love. I will teach you not only how to cope with impostor syndrome, but also how to achieve what you want. When teaching, I combine a structured approach and memes.
