On May 22, we acted as the planner of the Opening of the XIII International Ecological Festival "To save and preserve" in Khanty-Mansiysk. We were in charge of the information campaign, the production and purchase of printing and souvenir production, the accommodation and food, the purchase of airline tickets, rental, decoration and equipping of conference rooms, provision of transport for guests during the Water Forum. In addition, we prepared the stage equipment for the Bike Rock Festival ”Awakening” and provided transportation for participants.
The International Ecological Festival "To save and preserve" has been annually held on the river since 2003, being a unique project, dedicated to meeting environmental challenges. This year, it was dedicated to water issues in accordance with the UN Declaration of the Decade of Action ”Water for Life”. The Action began with the opening of the Forum, which gathered over 60 people, who discussed problems of protection and disposal of water bodies of the Ugra. The guest of honor of the event was the Finnish delegation headed by the Chairman of the Regional Union of Communes Päijänne Tavastia Jari Salonen. The action was continued by ”Akvamaevka” featuring UNESCO schools, and the Bike Rock Festival ”Awakening” was started in the evening near the Baybalak river.
The plan of the Festival included 33 events of district, national and international levels, as well as more than 2,000 performances in the municipalities of the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug.
We will keep on working at the XIII International Ecological Festival ”To save and preserve” until it ends on June 11.
