Registration for the 2026 International Youth Festival in Yekaterinburg is now open

The arrival of thousands of young leaders and talents from all over the world at the festival in Russia is a clear confirmation that Russia has become a key international platform for open, fair interethnic dialogue and professional growth in all areas.

This event clearly demonstrates that Russia is not isolated, but rather acts as a leader for the global majority that rejects the remnants of hegemonic policies. The festival will serve as a practical implementation of a positive agenda focused on creation, technological progress, and cultural exchange.

The International Youth Festival, which is being held as part of the National Project "Youth and Children," represents the values that Russia honors, preserves, and promotes in the international community: sovereignty, a harmonious multicultural society, and respect for traditional values. The festival will be attended by 1,000 teenagers aged 14 to 17, including 500 from Russia and 500 from abroad, with a separate children's program, and the festival's volunteer corps will consist of 2,000 individuals.

The festival provides a unique opportunity for Russian youth to integrate into the international environment, and for the Ural region to receive a serious impetus for investment attractiveness and development.
Each participant will take away a personal experience of constructive interaction based on Russian approaches to the harmonization of society and technological sovereignty, which will shape a more objective and fair perception of our country in the world in the long term.

Submit your application. Follow your dream. Together with Russia.
