World Youth Festival Directorate

We keep receiving thousands of thank-you messages in texts and videos 💌 Every one of them warms our hearts! One of these videos came from Kiambote Belandina, a participant of the IFY–2026. Thank you for sharing your emotions! 🩷 And today, we want to thank all of you too: everyone who came to Ekaterinburg from 191 countries, became part of the Festival, made new friends, and shared a piece of their culture. Every one of you deserves a big thank-you, because together we are creating a future with more friendship, understanding, and opportunities for one another 🌏 💐 Follow your dream!
