The International Youth Festival, the most vibrant youth event of 2026, is taking place in Yekaterinburg from September 11 to September 17. The Financial University is proactively participating in the event.
Elena Ivchenkova, a student of the Faculty of Social Sciences and Mass Communications of the Financial University, has been selected to participate in the Festival.
Elena shared her impressions of the Festival with us. According to her, this is a Festival where the multinational representatives from hundreds of countries, renowned speakers participate, and the participants are engaged in communication without borders. She has already met dozens of amazing, creative, and very friendly young people from various countries. At the Festival, young people from around the world are not just communicating but also work together to meet global challenges. It is a unique opportunity to gain inspiration, come up with the new ideas, and gain new skills. It was at this festival that she felt that if people had worked together and accepted the differences, everything would have been possible.
Nina Kozlovtseva, Deputy Vice-Rector for Social and Educational Work of the Financial University, participated in the Festival as a program expert. According to her, during the event, the participants discussed the key contemporary youth policy vectors extensively in various formats, shared the best practices with colleagues from Russian and overseas universities, planned joint initiatives, and drew energy from the colleagues and the talented young people.
