Young participants representing various spheres of culture and art − music, literature, design, architecture, choreography, literature and fashion took part in the forum. For three months they have been meeting and communicating with honored workers of culture and art. They shared their experiences, developed joint projects and participated in the competition for grants. More than 350 famous guests have become experts and speakers at Tavrida forum.
The educational program of the forum included not only traditional formats of lectures, master classes, motivational meetings and public talks, but also online workshops, TED chats and anti-discussions.
"In 2020, Tavrida, like the whole world, has changed its format under the influence of the pandemic. To comply with security measures, we had to cut the number of participants on educational sites by half, and it became a challenge for us. But, on the other hand, we quickly adapted to new realities and expanded our audience due to formats with the use of the Internet. We have conducted 68 online broadcasts and more than 6.5 million website visits were collected by the events of the entire forum. For us, this is a new direction in which we plan to develop", — said Sergei Pershin, Director General of the Center for the Development of Cultural Initiatives, head of the Tavrida art cluster.
