From the WYF Assembly to a Film Premiere — see how our participant made it happen 🟢
Adadiy Ibragimov, participant of the WYF-2024 and the World Youth Festival Assembly-2025, proved that the skills gained at the Festival really work in real life.
He continued his journey in the “Media” track, where he developed his professional skills and immediately put them into practice.
And as a result he made a documentary called “Actor of Our Time”, featuring well-known figures from the film world. Its premiere took place in Tashkent, Uzbekistan, bringing together people passionate about creativity, theater, and cinema🎬
Adadiy’s story is a great example of how the WYFD projects become growth points, helping young talents turn ideas into real projects.

New Year is just around the corner — and the vibe is already here ✅
We stopped by the International Friendship Club of the Mari El Republic to see how our activists are creating the holiday mood. They hosted a PowerPoint Night — not the usual one, but a special New Year edition.
After that, everyone decorated the Christmas tree, sang songs, played games, danced, and simply enjoyed the moment🎄
International students from different countries also joined the event, making the atmosphere even more warm and multicultural🌍
How about you? Are you getting ready for the New Year?

We have returned from the Republic of Serbia with new plans and a lot more energy! 🇷🇸 🤝 🇷🇺
Our team spent 4 eventful days in Belgrade:
🔸 We organized and held the IV Mini-Football “International Friendship Cup” Tournament with the Charity Foundation of the Holy Apostles Peter and Paul — sports diplomacy in action!
🔹 We talked with active Serbian youth together with Russian Senator Alexander Voloshin and Dmitry Ivanov, Director General of the WYFD ANO at the University of Belgrade. We discussed internships and the IFY-2026
🔹 At the meeting with the WYFD alumni of projects and educational programs, we discussed the idea proposed by the guys to open the Representative Office in Serbia. And we took a notice of such a proposal!
🔺 We met with major news agencies, content creators, government officials and representatives of the non-profit sectors
— said Dmitry Ivanov, Director General of the World Youth Festival Directorate.
We are leaving with confidence: Russian-Serbian youth cooperation has a bright future, which is based on the centuries-old friendship of our peoples.
❤️ Serbia, thank you for the warmth and hospitality! We’re just getting started!
Our team spent 4 eventful days in Belgrade:
The visit to Serbia once again demonstrated that the brotherly ties between our peoples are both a tribute to our shared history and a living, dynamic force carried forward by new generations. We saw the enthusiasm of young Serbians, their genuine interest in joint projects ranging from sports to science and technology - this is a solid foundation for the future of our relationship. The challenge for the Directorate now is to translate this trust into concrete actions: joint events, educational programs, and projects.

🟢 Another, from Jordan, shared how this sacred holiday is deeply connected with family and unity.
🔵 And from India, we discovered a Christmas filled with warmth, coziness, and a special sense of holiness.
Different cultures, different traditions — but all these stories are brought together by the WYFD🟢

Some exciting news from our friends in Cameroon 🇨🇲
The WYFD Project Office in Cameroon organized the last friendly football match of the year — and it was a truly special one.
The World Youth Festival Directorate symbols where everywhere: on the merch, on the flags, and even on the sidelines, where Cheburashka was cheering for the players👍
💡 The idea came from the Head of our Project Office in Cameroon, Jean François Nicolas Biboum. He brought young players together not just to play football, but to share a real moment of sport, joy, and connection.
We’re always happy to see such initiatives and wish the youth of Cameroon and Africa continued success.
