The first meeting of the #WYF2024 Indian delegation was a huge success! 🤩
The Indian NPC and the WYF Directorate organized an amazing gathering for the Indian delegation. It was an unforgettable experience for all the young participants, especially because they had the honor of being supported by influential figures in Indian politics.
📣 Mr. Iqbal Singh Laalpura, Chairman of the Minority Commission of India, and Mr. Tejasvi Surya, National President of BJYM and MP Bangalore South, delivered inspiring speeches, urging young people to seize this incredible opportunity and make a lasting impact. Mr. Laalpura highlighted the importance of the World Youth Festival as a platform for fostering understanding and cooperation between nations. Drawing from his own experience as a delegate at the World Youth Festival in 2017, Mr. Tejasvi Surya shared stories and insights, motivating the young participants to embrace diversity, expand their horizons, and contribute meaningfully to global discussions on important issues.
🇮🇳 We were honored to have Mr. Varun Kashyap, Chairman of World Youth Festival India NPC, deliver the keynote address. He revealed that the delegation of 360 young people has been named «Bharat 360», which perfectly represents their enthusiasm and unity.
💬 Daniil Bisslinger, the Coordinator of the International Bloc of the Festival, also spoke to the young Indian delegates, encouraging them to make the most of their participation in the World Youth Festival 2024.
👍 We want to express our heartfelt gratitude to all our esteemed guests for their support and participation. It was truly inspiring to witness the backing of the Indian government for the Festival. We can't wait to meet the Indian delegation in Sirius!

Marvelous stacks found in the north of Chukotka
In the Russian Far East, such rock formations are called ‘kekurs’ – they are pillars formed by wind and water erosion over time. The word ‘kekur’ itself (and similar derivatives) is taken from the Nenets, Yakut and Dolgan languages.
The Chukotka Kekurs are located a few kilometers from the town of Pevek in the north of the Chukotka Autonomous Okrug (69°42′). Pevek stands on the shore of the strait, surrounded by hills and is known for some of the strongest winds in the world (the ‘yuzhak’, a wind that literally knocks you off your feet, often blows there). And these amazing stacks are result of nature’s folly.
These stone "remnants" almost look like fingers sticking out of the ground. Interestingly, they are located in several groups. There are no official names and locals call them in their own way. ‘Throne’, ‘castle’, ‘walls’ and even ‘Stalin's profile’. And, against the background of these giant rock formations, people seem so tiny!
