The International Children’s Festival united children from Turkmenistan and CIS member states in the picturesque coast of the Caspian Sea, the Avaza National tourist zone.
Turkmenistan once again became a venue for children's creative forum organized by the Ministry of Education of Turkmenistan, the Ministry of Culture of Turkmenistan and the Balkan Velayat Khyakimlik on instruction of the President of Turkmenistan. The main goal of the children's creative forum is to strengthen the ties of friendship and fraternity between children of different nations, widen the creative relations between the young citizens of Turkmenistan with their foreign peers, and to bring up gifted generation. The festival is also aimed at preserving, strengthening and developing the traditions of multinational culture of Turkmenistan and foreign countries, providing more opportunities for children from other countries to learn more about the Turkmen culture and art.
Children from eight countries, including Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Tajikistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Armenia and Azerbaijan, who arrived in Turkmenistan on invitation of President Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov, as well as young citizens of Turkmenistan from different regions of our Motherland, who successfully participated in the qualification rounds, took part in the festival.
For many of our guests the festival is not only an opportunity to demonstrate their creative abilities, but also the first meeting with Turkmenistan. Thus, the organizers of the cultural event created all necessary conditions so that the days spent in Turkmenistan engrave in memory of young artists.
