Founder and head of the festival

“Our festival is dedicated to the stage art. Here children can take part in such nominations as: drama art, vocal skills, recitation, choreography, folklore.

The festival is the place, where people can enjoy and understand themselves regardless their cultural and national differences. It is a great opportunity to share our passion for English learning and teaching, to develop and improve student’s English language skills.

The festival organizers will make you feel at home with their warm demeanour. You will be the dearest, the most important and valued guests. I do believe all the participants will truly understand that the world and justice are in children’s hands. We are looking forward to meeting you! ”
