This year, the preliminary round began on April 13 and will run through May 15, 2026, according to the organizers at the Donetsk Regional Institute of Postgraduate Pedagogical Education.
During this period, students, teachers, creative groups from educational institutions, and representatives of Donetsk Oblast’s national communities will prepare video presentations reflecting the uniqueness of their cultures.
The festival program covers a variety of categories: from concert performances and master classes in decorative and applied arts to presentations of national cuisine and research on family history. Each performance is not just a demonstration of talent, but a living history of a people, their traditions, customs, and spiritual values.
Ahead lie vibrant performances, new discoveries, genuine emotions, and inspiration. And on May 21, 2026, on the Day of Interethnic Harmony and Cultural Diversity, the best works will be presented in the final stage, which will become a true celebration of the cultural diversity of Donetsk Oblast, proving that our strength lies in diversity, and our future lies in unity.
