"In the Year of the Family, the Folkloriada will be held in Kazan as part of the Decade of Childhood. The place was not chosen by chance. Tatarstan takes great care of the history and culture of the peoples of the republic. From June 19 to 23, concerts of folk singing and dancing groups, performers on national instruments, masterclasses and the most popular "Round Dance of Friendship" will be held at the best venues of the city. Young artists will also perform in the municipalities of Tatarstan. This large project was launched in the Year of Cultural Heritage of the Peoples of Russia and was a great success in the Republic of Chuvashia. Talented children from 76 regions with great pride and love introduced the audience to the unique culture of their peoples. I wish all the participants of this wonderful project success and new creative discoveries!" said Olga Lyubimova, Minister of Culture of the Russian Federation.
Minister of Culture of the Republic of Tatarstan Irada Ayupova drew the attention of those present to the importance of family education.
"Representatives of 175 nationalities live in Tatarstan. But it does not matter what nationality you were born into. It is important that you have opportunities to preserve your cultural code. The year 2024 has been declared the Year of the Family in Russia. And respect for one's roots starts in the family," Irada Ayupova noted.
