On May 20, the Moscow Concert Hall hosted a gala show and an awards ceremony for the winners of the first BRICS ART GAMES. The event was organized by the Association of Children's Creativity as part of the Commission for Patriotic and Spiritual-Moral Education of Children and Youth of the Council for Interethnic Relations under the President of the Russian Federation, in collaboration with the regional public movement in support of talented youth "Synergy of Talents". The gala evening was preceded by a year-long effort by the organizers in both Russia and the BRICS countries, where the competition stages took place. The final ceremony was attended by delegations of the strongest children's artists from the member states. In the concert program, they presented their native country's culture through their art and shared their creative experiences.

 

 

"Children from 30 countries took part in the Games. They showed how children unite countries and continents through creativity. For all of them, love for creativity, art, and the desire to create and work together are important. They have become true ambassadors of creativity, representing their country's culture. Moreover, through the Games, children have also learned about the unique cultures of other countries, interacting with their peers with understanding and respect for their cultures. I am confident that the children will remember their visit to Moscow for a long time," said Mikhail Yurievich Sokolov, President of the Association of Children's Creativity and Games.

"The Games are a great example of how a good event for children has a positive impact on the development of cultural diplomacy in general and contributes to even closer cooperation between BRICS countries in the field of culture," said Olga Viktorovna Zvonareva, a member of the Commission for Patriotic and Spiritual-Moral Education of Children and Youth of the Presidential Council for Interethnic Relations and the head of the regional public movement in support of talented youth "Synergy of Talents".
