"The see will rise, stand by the shore"

You don't have to stray the oceans away.
Waves roll in my thoughts. Hold tight the ring...
The sea will rise...Please stand by the shore...
Oh. Oh. Oh I will be...I will be there once more...

- Edie Vedder , 1991.


This is a verse that Edie had written on his surfboard somewhere on the west coast of the United States and dedicated it to his girlfriend, but during the process he had never thought these lines would eventually go around the world in matter of months and become a part the “Ten” album, forming a “Seattle scene”.

Although this grunge singer was probably talking about love, there is one particular aspect of human interaction that was caught in his poem and that is connection between people.

In order to achieve different goals people “stick” together, forming unions of two , three , hundreds , thousands , millions. That way they can insure safety, not only theirs but the ones near them and also bring prosperity to environment, considering not only financial aspect but also political and educational.

Modern society greatly depends upon human ability to unite. Proper education is a “burning” issue last few years and many leading experts participate in forums around the world discussing about how to improve basic as well as upper educational methods in order to prepare young future academic citizens for their role in adult society. Being in the epicenter of the problem, students are also included in this exchange of ideas therefore the result is inevitable- total blossom of all spectrum of human emotions, cultural heritage and new experiences.
