Around 20,000 young leaders from Russia and around the globe from various fields, including business, media, international relations, culture and other, are expected to take part in the event.
This event provides an opportunity to initiate a conversation and seek common ground regardless of one's nationality, political beliefs, or cultural differences.
The Festival will spark the beginning of new relationships and the exchange of different national cultures and traditions for mutual enrichment.
