Children from more than 50 countries will be immersed in an atmosphere that motivates them to new victories. The children will be able to show their best qualities and abilities, get acquainted with cultural traditions of different countries.

I am convinced that genuine and sincere friendship between children from different countries can become a guarantee of peace in the world", - says Konstantin Fedorenko, Director of Artek.
