The International Children’s Cultural Forum provides a unique opportunity for talented children and teenagers from Russia and other countries to get acquainted with the global
accomplishments in the field of culture and art.
The Forum unites young participants striving to grow and evolve in diverse creative spheres. It is an interesting and informative meeting with governmental and public figures, cultural activists, famous educators, where one can discuss contemporary trends in cultural development and personal opportunities for creative realization.
The Forum will bring together 1,977 young talents aged 12 to 17 from 89 regions of Russia and 17 foreign countries.
They will take part in a program across six areas, featuring more than 100 vibrant events — including master classes, discussions, art schools, and creative workshops.
Most importantly, the majority of activities are designed in a modern interactive format, giving every participant the opportunity to express themselves.
Every day, Forum participants will enjoy afternoon and evening concerts featuring youth ensembles and children’s groups from across Russia.
Highlights of the program include a performance by the V. S. Loktev Song and Dance Ensemble, showcasing the best numbers of this renowned children’s collective, and the vocal-literary concert “Songs of Victory”, led by Sergey Zhilin with the Fonograf Jazz Orchestra.
The Forum will conclude on August 23 with a festive closing ceremony and an interactive concert program.
