Foreign participants of the Festival felt the Crimean flavor 💚

After all, the route of the regional program «We are back with Russia» allowed 33 foreigners to discover so many new things on the peninsula! 🏝

The young people have already visited Laspi Bay, the Holy Dormition Cave Monastery, and miniature park in Bakhchisarai, Vorontsov Palace, Yevpatoria, Simferopol, and Yalta. The participants got acquainted with the main sights, cultural achievements, and natural heritage of the Republic 😻

In Gurzuf, the foreign participants visited the Artek International Children's Center and together created an art object called the «Tree of Friendship» 🤝

The exciting trip's final destination was the Tavrida Art Cluster and Meganom Academy, where the planet's youth got familiar with the platform of opportunities for young artists within the creative industries.

There were many impressions and even more positive emotions. Thank you, Crimea, for the interesting program! ☺️
