Which countries are the participants of the youth festival. Russia will host the XIX World Festival of Youth and Students. What awaits the participants

The XIX World Festival of Youth and Students will be held in Russia in 2017.

This decision was made February 7, 2016 The World Federation of Democratic Youth and international student organizations at an international consultative meeting on the holding of the XIX Festival. The application of youth organizations to host the Festival was submitted by Rosmolodezh on behalf of Russian President Vladimir Putin in November 2015.

In the entire history of the festival movement, Russia will host the largest international event in the field of youth interaction for the third time. It is especially important for us that 2017 is a jubilee year not only for the festival itself (the first took place in 1947), but also for Russian history. For the first time we opened our doors to the youth of the whole planet 60 years ago. The Moscow scale then amazed the world and in many ways became a point of reference and a high bar for the future capitals of the festival.

Keeping all the best festival traditions and synthesizing them with important modern trends, Russia will once again become a hospitable host for representatives of all continents!

Infrastructure of the festival

All the main events of the festival will take place on the territory of the modern Olympic Park, which was built in the Imeretinskaya lowland in Sochi. The infrastructure is designed in such a way that it is essentially a “city within a city”: the participants will live in comfortable hotels, and discussion platforms, work centers and leisure facilities are within walking distance. Well-established air traffic connects Sochi with Moscow and dozens of other cities, and with the help of modern rail transport it will be easy to get to the city center or to Rosa Khutor, the so-called Mountain Cluster.

All facilities were specially built for the XXII Olympic Winter and XI Paralympic Games. In 2014, Sochi impressed the whole world. The festival pursues an ambitious task - to fully comply with the level set during sports competitions.

Red Square, Moscow

The center and heart of not only Moscow, but all of Russia. It is difficult to list all those significant events that took place here or are associated with the history of Red Square. There is a lot of controversy about the origin of its name, but most historians are similar in opinion: Red from the word Beautiful.

Here is the starting point of all tourist routes - both for Russians and for guests of our country - and right there is the reporting point of all highways - "Kilometer Zero". St. Basil's Cathedral and the red-brick walls of the Kremlin, the Gothic facade of the Main Department Store and the building of the Historical Museum (by the way, it was here that the world-famous and oldest in Russia University - Moscow) was originally located.

It is especially symbolic that here, near the first building of the University 14 october 2017 and the Student Parade will begin, which will serve as the start of the XIX World Festival of Youth and Students.

Sparrow Hills, Moscow

Years passed ... Moscow University became more and more. In the beginning, he occupied several buildings on Mokhovaya Street, which is opposite the Kremlin, and in the mid-fifties of the XX century (just on the eve of the first youth festival for our country) he acquired a new house, which to this day is one of the visiting cards not only of Moscow , but all of the Russian students, youth.

The famous skyscraper has secured the title of the tallest building in Europe for half a century. Today's university is even larger and occupies the entire vicinity of Vorobyovy Gory. The population of this “microtown”, together with all students, teachers and staff, is approaching a hundred thousand. The vast square in front of the University is formed by the intersection of several streets and a large park.

This is a favorite walking place not only for students, but also for all Muscovites and tourists. Still, from the observation deck on the Vorobyovs - the whole city, at a glance! October 14, 2016 it was here that the most ambitious festive events "A Year before the XIX World Festival of Youth and Students!" took place. Its participants gave a start to the countdown of time, a clock in the form of a festival chamomile throughout the year became another decoration of Vorobyovy Gory!

Olympic Park, Sochi

Before the Olympics in Sochi, the world was perplexed: how can you hold winter competitions in a subtropical climate? It's that simple! Directly by the sea, among the palm trees, the Olympic Park was built with indoor stadiums and facilities, inside which they created their own microclimate.

Real winter - in the mountains - only half an hour away, but more on that later. The compactness and logistical accuracy of the Olympic Park will allow the festival to be held conveniently and safely. The constant companion of the participants will be the warm Black Sea breeze.

Navigation between hotels and facilities is clear and logical. October in Sochi is the end of the so-called velvet season. Guests from the south will not feel chilly, and our northern colleagues will not feel the sweltering heat. It is not for nothing that Sochi is crossed by the central 45th parallel.

Rosa Khutor, Sochi

30 minutes by train from the Olympic Park or the airport and you are in the very center of Krasnaya Polyana. Welcome to the Rosa Khutor mountain resort! The main ski resort in Russia and the CIS really knows how to impress at any time of the year. It is here that the festival participants will find numerous sports activities, the emotions and impressions of which will remain in their memory for a long time!
