Youth Day in Russia is celebrated in the summer, on June 27. And, oddly enough, none of the young people are particularly looking forward to this holiday, because they don’t know the date of it. However, this has not yet stopped a single state employee) We celebrate once a year after all.
— Advertising —
The most popular form of celebrating Youth Day today is festivals. A stage is set up in some central square, and interactive zones are set up around the perimeter. Let's talk about this.
Location: square, park, square, central street Design: individually for each zone

I wanted to combine creative projects in one. This was the rethinking of the environment. First, the term “creative urbanism” was born as an approach to the urban environment not through dry urban planning, politics and regulations, but through the unification of the activities of sociologists, designers, choreographers, artists, and musicians. I wanted to create a universal artistic language. “Kurbanistics” became such an occasion. While organizing the festival, I learned to speak clearly about complex professional issues. This is an invaluable experience of simultaneous communication with officials, tractor drivers, artists, famous Moscow architects, local residents, utility workers, and students. Such communication definitely forces action. With the help of master classes, lectures and architectural workshops that we hold at the festival, city residents master technologies for working with the urban environment.
During the festival, we communicated a lot with local residents, so we received approval from them. We always kept to ourselves the idea that people like to see things that reflect themselves. Therefore, a good organizer must be able to maintain a balance between conceptualism and popular print.
Students, startupers and people who are looking for themselves take an active part in Kurbanistics. We also have a unified volunteer headquarters in our city. Thanks to it, people gain different skills, and the city festival team becomes more open. The rest come to watch, listen and just relax.
In fact, Kurbanistics acts as a catalyst for change. When we held a festival at the college of folk crafts in 2015, this event caught the eye of the education department, and other colleges also began to introduce educational innovations and hold design conferences. In addition, we ourselves continue to do workshops and environmental projects every year at other festivals in the city. It turns out that “Kurbanistics” takes on a new face and needs every time.
Discovery No. 1
With the help of a corporate event, you can solve any business problem if you turn it into a tactical project. While an ordinary employee is having a good time with a neighboring department in the networking area with a glass of champagne, HR is fulfilling KPIs. Every organizational detail should show the “heart and soul” of the company, which in professional slang is called brand essence.
- What corporate values do we want to convey to the team?
- Which departments do we want to establish communication between?
- How to surprise and inspire employees with a holiday?
- How to get the right “feedback” after the event?
Finding answers to these questions is vital during the pre-production stage.

The idea of “Boo!fest” did not come to Vladimir, but grew in it. I knew about the Moscow “Boo!fest”, I am familiar with the organizers, and the very idea of uniting small publishing houses, handmade and non-commercial music in one place seemed nice. In addition, it was time for Eidos, our store-club, to develop. Organizing a book festival, on the one hand, is logical, but on the other hand, it’s a good challenge, since no one has done them in Vladimir.
The Moscow festival is a private project, this is its charm, but also its weakness, since there are too many risks in such a small field. From the very beginning I decided that in Vladimir this would be a non-commercial festival in spirit. With this, I came to the city administration and received support. They gave us premises, transport, help with advertising and organization. This was great, because without such support we, inexperienced girls at that time, simply could not cope. We succeeded, and as a result, a festival has existed in Vladimir for five years now, which is not similar to official events, nor to commercial events, nor to an informal get-together. “Boo!fest” became an intellectual city festival, and the townspeople immediately appreciated it.
Our team is constantly being joined by those who are attracted by the spirit of creativity. “Bu!fest” is rubber and accommodates a variety of projects, as long as they match the style. The administration has not interfered with work processes for a long time: we do all the content, all the content and form. This also attracts creative people, many of whom avoid officials and do not participate in city events, not finding a place for themselves in them. At the same time, the Governor's Symphony Orchestra plays at the Bu!fest, libraries make their own program, and the Vladimir-Suzdal Museum-Reserve participates. The whole point of success is to unite a variety of people on a common field of love for reading and curiosity about books that you won’t see in a chain store, while maintaining a bright and light atmosphere. This lightness is contagious.
How to organize a youth day
Let's outline possible options for what can be organized for Youth Day and see what has already been done in different regions of our country.
Extreme
Extreme sports have already penetrated almost all cities. At least workout for sure. Then it would be great to organize a mobile workout area for extreme sports enthusiasts, a parkour park. Read how to organize a workout competition.
Like the idea of bringing ramps from the skate park. Then the skaters will be happy and the tracers will have somewhere to jump. But this is somehow global. Probably, our budget is not enough for this) Although, no one is stopping you from organizing several sites at the same time, in the same skatepark. Or bring one figure to the square for atmosphere.
Healthy lifestyle workers and environmentalists
These guys can be placed next to athletes, because they seem to be athletes, but they don’t seem to be. More like a lifestyle. Here we invite all local fitness clubs, sports nutrition stores and that local blogger from Instagram who will explain proper nutrition.

Seven years ago, the OMK-Uchastie Charitable Foundation was already actively working in Vyksa. We collaborated with institutions that help children in difficult life situations, provided targeted assistance to families, and conducted educational programs for teachers. But we wanted to create a project for teenagers and youth of Vyksa - for those who in ten years will come to work at the Vyksa Metallurgical Plant, at other enterprises of this city, for those who strive to go to big cities for new experiences.
Sometimes people think that life in big cities is more eventful and fulfilling, so there is a desire to go to the capital, abroad, away from home. At first we focused on high school students and students. Over the years, we realized that our festival is also interesting for older people. Although our main guideline is not age: we are creating a festival for those who love Vyksa and are ready to participate in its transformation. We strive to ensure that Vyksa takes its rightful place on the cultural map of the country, so that residents of the city of metallurgists are proud not only of the history of the plant, the complex technologies of modern production, but also of the urban culture festival “ART-Ravine”, which changes the rhythm of life of the city, its courtyards, parks, squares, the fate of its inhabitants.
At the first three festivals, the bias was made in favor of contemporary youth culture: music, extreme sports and street art. In subsequent years, the emphasis shifted to the field of architecture and the development of urban spaces: art courtyards and elements of improvement of the city park appeared. "ART-Ravine" is a festival of urban culture that transforms the life of an entire city. In Vyksa, in the central park, on the embankment, in city microdistricts, there remain unique modern art objects, to create which artists, sculptors and architects come from all over the world. The park hosts exhibitions and open-air studios where musicians, choreographers and athletes conduct master classes for everyone. So, in the year of the 70th anniversary of the Victory, we held an action in memory of the residents of Vyksa who went to the front. All day the artist drew a map of the pre-war city with chalk on the asphalt. The protest participants lit 6,355 candles—the same as the number of those who did not return home. Residents of Vyksa placed candles on the map of the city and danced the waltz, the same one that the volunteers who went to the front did not have time to dance in 1941. Both veterans and young people danced.
Preparation for the festival takes a year. The next festival ends, and the very next day planning for the next festival begins with a detailed analysis of each program, reviews from residents and publications in the press. We communicate a lot with artists, citizens, volunteers, and program curators. They help us look at the festival from the outside, and with their personal participation they create the history of the festival. The number of fans and guests who specially come to Vyksa for three days to see everything with their own eyes is growing.
The festival is changing, and the attitude towards it is changing.
For six years of urban culture, ART-Ravine has entered the life of Vyksa as a large-scale and expected event. We have experience in holding a festival and a recognizable name, more than eighty art objects and famous participants. The older “ART-Ravine” gets, the warmer people feel about it, and we, in turn, strive to create all the conditions for residents to become its active participants and organizers. One of the results of our work is that today Vyksa is known not only as a city of metallurgists, but also as a city where its residents, together with artists, create a new space for life and creativity.
I especially want to say about the ART-Dvor program. We have proposed a competition where neighbors who have decided to transform their yard can apply. They discuss their proposals with architects and designers, meeting several times to come to a common decision. Then they actively participate in the transformation of their yard, work, go to community cleanups, and do landscaping.
The festival helps citizens formulate and implement their initiatives.

For more than three years, we have been regularly holding city weekends - these are meetings of citizens where you can get acquainted with city communities and activists, a lecture hall, a fair, games, and workshops. It’s very nice to see how the townspeople come in advance and organize their shops and cafes. But this is still a selective story for ten people. We wanted more people to be able to actively participate, and the flea market was the solution. Our participants immediately picked up the idea. The area in the TEXTIL courtyard is ideal for holding it. We managed to attract people who had never been to traditional chaotic flea markets. From the first flea market we saw that the format works and is gaining popularity very quickly. This is a simple and accessible opportunity for city residents to get involved. We all have things that are no longer useful, and now there is an opportunity to give them to someone who is looking for and will appreciate it. We are pleased that very different people are joining in: from students to retirees, from people who came to the flea for the first time to flea market regulars. Everyone is united by the desire to have an interesting time, hang out among a crowd of bright and pleasant people, communicate and find a unique thing.
While we are preparing for the flea market, we are communicating with participants who register in advance. We teach them that the flea market is not trade for the sake of trade. The main thing here is communication. Tell the story of the thing, tell your story or the story of your family. An object acquires magic as soon as we wrap it in memories.
We were amazed that many visitors and even participants did not previously know what a flea market was. Therefore, from the first event, we introduced a lecture hall in which we talk about the traditions of flea markets in different cities of the world, about Yaroslavl flea markets, about the history of things and the need to give them a second life. We are opening a recycling workshop, talking about the coolest finds on our pages on social networks, and inviting experienced flea dealers. We also support the local community of environmentalists who promote the idea of not buying disposable, one-season items, not throwing away things that can serve other people or can be recycled.
Our organization, an NGO, is a moderator between citizens and government officials. We have earned our credibility, people understand more precisely what values stand behind our desire to organize meetings of citizens, they know that we are not led by political or commercial forces. We are the same city dwellers and are also interested in making the city comfortable and interesting to live in.
Current tips for original events
The event industry is designed to surprise, inspire, and give new impressions. And we’re not just talking about weddings and anniversaries. For a business event, creativity is no less important, otherwise it is unlikely to achieve its goal: the participants will simply serve the allotted time and disperse, taking with them neither information nor incentive to action. To prevent this from happening, it is worth adopting a number of techniques that can arouse and maintain the interest of the audience:
- An unusual place. City parks, loft bars, abandoned factory floors, even caves - all this is quite suitable for holding a conference with a large number of participants. Such an atmosphere naturally sets the mood for informal communication.
- Use of technology. Broadcasting lectures via headphones is one example of this approach. Here we can also talk about a multisensory mix, which is often separated into a special format. However, it makes more sense to call it a technique that is appropriate in organizing events of various types.
- Involvement of every participant. The principle of “one speaks, the rest listen” is hopelessly outdated today. The more activity and initiative everyone present shows, the more interesting and useful the discussion will be.
The modern event creates events whose ideas meet the global sharing trend. The basis of such events is free communication, a lively exchange of impressions, and the result is new discoveries and the birth of progressive concepts in various fields of activity.

Since 2002 I have been doing graffiti, and since 2008 I started traveling a lot around Russia. On my trips, I met the locals, we painted and walked around the city. Returning each time to Yekaterinburg, I began to pay more attention to the city, architecture, people and mentality. Started to really fall in love with it and decided to hold events dedicated to promoting graffiti. Just at that moment I met the same caring people as me, they were Evgeny Fateev and Andrey Kolokolov. We began to jointly come up with a format for something interesting, important, large-scale, and most importantly, citywide. And one fine day in 2010, on a bench in the city center, the Stenograffia Street Art Festival was born. Our task was to make the urban space a little better, brighter and more interesting.
Every year “Stenographfiya” produces new creative projects, new meanings in street space. After we formulated our picture of the world, we managed to infect the same caring people. This is how we form a large team of organizers and volunteers every year.
The first two years we explained to people what it was and why it was needed. Gradually, "Stenographffy" began to attract citizens, as they saw that changing the environment where they live was not so difficult. Yekaterinburg residents are included in the process, their yard, street, city no longer becomes someone else’s space, but lived-in and their own. It happens that townspeople help the artist create an object or feed him. One day, someone took a TV outside so that the artist could draw and watch his favorite team's football match.
We sincerely believe that we need to fight for the “ecology of the visual”, because by changing our environment, we change ourselves. I think that's what attracts people. People of different ages, incomes and mentalities come to us. Schoolchildren, students, couriers, managers, bartenders, agency directors - everyone wants to help Stenograffia. Someone wants to gain knowledge, someone wants to make the world brighter, someone just wants to take a break from everyday work.
When the initiative comes from below, the project lives longer: as long as the townspeople need it. This position is stronger, because if the project is conceived from above, then the directives will suddenly cease and the project will be closed.
World Cafe
This is a meeting format that represents a structured communication process enriched by the knowledge of the participants. Usually people are divided into groups of 4-5 people who sit around a round table. The atmosphere resembles the spirit of a cafe. The meeting begins with a 20-minute discussion of a given topic. After this, one of the members of each table moves to another group. The speaker from another table welcomes the newcomer and tells what conclusions his group came to.
Participants will have a series of similar conversations, and each time they will bring with them the knowledge and ideas of other groups. This is how everyone enriches themselves with the opinions of others. Large and small groups can take part in World Café; their number can be 12 tables or more than a thousand. This format has clear principles:
- Work through the context
- Create a welcoming environment
- Explore questions that actually mean something
- Encourage everyone to contribute
- Connect different points of view
- Listen to ideas
- Share collective discoveries
How to use the format
- Choose an informal location for the World Café
- Prepare 4-5 round tables
- Stock up on pens, markers, paper, and other stationery to encourage creative discussion.
- Greet all participants warmly at the beginning and clearly explain the topic and context of the discussion
- Divide participants into groups and begin the first round of discussions
- Each round should last 20 minutes. After the round, the groups exchange one participant. Each person is briefly told the outcome of the previous discussion.
- After a couple of rounds, a representative from each group shares in front of all participants the information that he received in his group.
Duration: several hours
Kirill Paravaev, organizer of the TESLA music festival, Khabarovsk
Photo source: pavelm93.blogspot.ru
Initially, there was no idea to create a full-fledged music festival. A friend and local stage distributor Sasha Zhelekov came to our agency and offered to organize a “big party” in the open air. We discussed everything and decided to approach the organization a little deeper: think through the concept, philosophy, communication with guests, emotions. Doing something just like that is boring. Moreover, in the case of Tesla, there was an opportunity to really leave a mark on the history of the city. What was ripening in our heads, no one in the history of Khabarovsk had ever done.
We immediately approved the format of the open-air festival. Firstly, there are no good concert venues in Khabarovsk. Secondly, open-air is the only way to really gather a lot of people. Organizing Tesla was very difficult. Even before the festival, we thought of ourselves as experienced organizers. We have many city festivals behind us, hundreds of commercial events for brands, but Tesla is completely exhausting: a lot of nuances, a lot of financial, human, technical and time resources. In the regions, everything is much more complicated with the implementation of ideas: you can come up with anything, but not everything is available.
Initially, residents reacted with caution. Gradually and carefully, we immersed them in the project with the right words, presentation, content, and promises. After the first Tesla, this problem went away, as people themselves began to share their impressions with each other. The residents loved us because we finally gave them something new. This is a reason to be proud of yourself, your music, your people. Coming up with decorations, videos, three stages, 25 groups, an advertising campaign is difficult, time-consuming and expensive, but in the end people appreciate and are grateful. We do Tesla once a year, because every time we want to do something completely new, raise the bar, and not repeat previous festivals. Things like a big music festival should happen once a year. Although city residents ask us to organize the festival more often.
I realized that if there is an agency or a team of brave people who will work 20 hours a day, get cold, get tired and faint for the sake of an idea, then you can create a project. If you don’t have a full-fledged team, then it’s better to team up with distributors, advertisers, politicians, investors and anyone else. The result of activity is not always profit. Sometimes it is more important and valuable to show skill, vision and dedication.
Angela Piaget, organizer of the eco-action “Firs, Sticks, Five Bisons”, St. Petersburg

In order to come up with and organize “Firs, Sticks, Five Bisons,” several factors coincided. Our team saw photographs of bison from the Prague Zoo, where they were chewing coniferous trees. At this time, we were friends with the foresters of the Sestroretsk forest park, who were responsible for the bison. They also had tree crushers. And then everything came together: there are bison, there are fir trees, there are crushers. That’s how we came up with the idea of collecting unwanted coniferous trees from the townspeople and donating them for animal feed. The idea of the project itself is fresh and very logical. Before us, no one had established eco-processing of Christmas trees.
When planning such a project, we, as a volunteer movement, rely on our resources. Residents reacted positively to the action. With our help, everyone learned that the life of bison is not as terrible as they write about it on social networks. I think the people of St. Petersburg liked the idea because it combines several components: ecology, care for animals and the available resource in the form of a Christmas tree. Citizens understand that they can help and do it easily. A variety of people participate, united by their concern for the environment.
We start preparing three months before the start of the campaign. In such work, a good team with clear roles and operational functionality of each organizer is very important. Involvement in the process is a necessary condition for the successful implementation of the project. Proactivity is also needed. This is what improves the quality of life. It is sometimes easier for citizens to make a specific project than for officials who are limited by protocols and budgets. But the best effect is achieved through the cooperation of officials, public organizations and residents. “Firs, Sticks, Five Bisons” has been taking place for the third year. After some time, other cities became interested. Since last year, Moscow has joined, and this year also Yaroslavl and Arkhangelsk.
Thanks to our action, a new tradition has appeared in St. Petersburg, which ends the January holidays. For city residents, this is an opportunity to contribute to the environment, animal protection and reasonable consumption. According to feedback from participants, many are grateful and inspired and want to join.
Aquarium
What is the essence of the format? A small group of people discuss a hot topic in front of a large audience. In classic aquariums, any participant can join a small group and join in the discussion. This is a very effective format for discussing trending topics and identifying different points of view. It's great if the small group is made up of public and private sector leaders, and the audience is made up of workers and ordinary citizens. Aquariums make decision-making transparent, build trust and simplify complex issues.
How to use the format
- To create an “aquarium”, place 5-8 chairs in a circle.
- For an audience, place chairs in concentric circles around the fish tank.
- Select panelists and seat them in the inner circle.
- The moderator announces the topic of discussion, and the inner circle begins it.
- In the “open” version of the aquarium, some of the chairs in the inner circle remain unoccupied, and anyone from a large audience can take this place and join the discussion.
- In the “closed” version, the discussion participants remain inside the circle until it ends. When time is up, they leave the aquarium and audience members from the larger circle take their places and begin the discussion.
Duration: about 1.5 hours
What is this format suitable for?
- As an alternative to traditional debate
- As an alternative to panel discussions
- To attract audience participation
- To get questions on difficult questions
- To avoid the boring lecture format
Andrey Kochetkov, ideologist of the festival of restoration of the historical environment “Tom Sawyer Fest”, Samara
Photo source: Tom Sawyer Fest / vk.om
We work with the historical environment, and not with official cultural heritage sites, for the restoration of which funds are allocated. Historical buildings can stand for decades and no one will touch them. Thus, some houses in Samara have not seen painting for a hundred years. The problem of the historical environment is painful for many Russian cities. Most often it is used as a construction site for new residential areas. There is a lot of discussion about her on the Internet, and we decided that if millions of comments have been written about her fate on social networks, then you can find at least a dozen people who will move from words to action.
Since the authorities had no idea what to do with the historical environment, we decided to take the situation into our own hands. To show that even small injections, which can be made by the citizens themselves, radically change the situation. We wanted to show how beautiful a historic building can be if you take a little care of it. Initially, we decided to just paint the houses. Then they realized that this was not enough. Carpentry work, replacement of worn-out parts, and work with residents of houses are required. The project is constantly acquiring new meanings. Later, the idea came that we needed to bring culture to this environment, create events, and improve the territories. This is how we learn and make the festival more and more complex and perfect. In 2021, it was successfully held in three cities, where we broadcast our experience. We have accumulated so much knowledge that we decided to pass on the technology further. That's why we hold the Tom Sawyer Fest School in March. Applications have already come from ten cities.
At the beginning of the launch of the festival there was much more skepticism towards our activities than now. Not everyone believed that we would be able to complete the work on at least one house. And now 11 houses have already been restored in three cities. In Samara, our objects attract tourists: the houses have been visited by thousands of tourists who, before our work, simply passed by them without seeing anything noteworthy. We tried very hard to make the work at the festival not a mournful heroic work, but a real holiday. A place where you want to come and relax. Including taking a break from constant mental work and doing physical work. “Tom Sawyer Fest” turned out to be socially useful fitness in its own way.
Igor Skalariev, co-organizer of the “Run, Rostov, Run” community, Rostov-on-Don
Photo source: runrostov / vk.com
The idea of the project “Run, Rostov, Run” was born thanks to a request from the audience. At the Rostov TEDx, my colleague Ruslan Khismatullin spoke about running and goal setting. After which I was inundated with questions about how and where to start. And in order to answer them, a Saturday run through the city center was invented, where you can ask and hear the answer, feel the shoulder of a friend and simply find yourself in a friendly community, warm company. I found myself on one of these runs. The race on Saturday mornings became the main tradition of “Run, Rostov, Run,” and people began to gather around this tradition.
People of different professions, ages, statuses gather. You could even say “from different worlds,” but a great common interest in running really unites us all. One simple run can change your perspective on any aspect of life simply because you went for a run with a specialist in this field and had a heart-to-heart talk.
Over time, the concept changed a little: over several years, as the movement developed, narrower communities with active leaders appeared, often seriously competing with each other. Now we are like an umbrella over every runner in the city. We are a platform that unites all fans, regardless of their adherence to a particular club or school. The city administration significantly helps us, for example, in organizing the citywide holiday “Run on January 1,” which set a Russian record for mass participation, but this is a separate big story.
Of course, there were running communities in the city before, “KLB” - running clubs. But it was not easy for many in this environment: with all due respect to colleagues, the communities were like pioneer circles and interest clubs with a strict set of public and unspoken rules. It seems people were missing simplicity and accessibility.
We live in a time when the only people who influence the lives of city residents are themselves. If they have a request, other city residents will jointly organize a response to it. Then there was the domino effect: in two years, the number of amateur races has increased several times - they take place almost every weekend, truly mass events have become possible, in good weather the stadium is not crowded, and one athletics arena for the city has become obviously not enough. And this, of course, is not the merit of the organizers or the community - this is the result of the interest and activity of city residents.

Dictionary of MASS WORK FORMS
Traditional and innovative, serious and playful forms of mass formation of information culture of users
second edition Novouralsk, 2010
This dictionary is the second revised and expanded edition of the 1999 edition of the dictionary. The dictionary is a list that can be used as a guide when expanding the range of forms of working with readers. The dictionary includes both traditional, historically established forms of events, as well as promising, innovative ones that are just emerging in connection with the development of the information needs of society, the changing place of libraries in the information and leisure markets. All lexical units of the dictionary are presented in a normalized grammatical form: in the nominative singular case (for example, conversation, review). For all phrases, an inverted word order is adopted (for example, bibliographic lesson, reading conference) All terms are given in alphabetical order. When compiling the dictionary, we used: a database of teaching materials of the Central Public Library, professional periodicals, and Internet resources. The authors of the dictionary in no way claim to be a complete reflection of all possible forms of mass work with the reader and will be grateful for comments and suggestions made to them.
Frontal (mass) library and bibliographic services are the satisfaction of cultural and information needs that are typical for the majority of users and “non-users” of the library. This service helps to attract their attention to the library, reading, or a specific book. It contains groups of methods: critical-analytical, positive-illustrative, recommendatory-informational, methods of indirect book recommendation.
Methods of indirect book recommendation - promote the activities of the library, its capabilities, the benefits of reading, and the development of library and information culture. In this way, librarians lead users and non-users of the library to the need to read.
Readership is the totality of all readers who are not united by any common characteristics and do not form a stable set.
A reading group is a collection of individuals who have some common objectively existing characteristics and properties. This is a well-defined stable set, ordered by one or another characteristic that is significant for library services: gender, age, profession, interests.

Victor Lepsky, founder of CREATIVESPOT markets, Vladivostok

I am convinced that if you want change. do it yourself. In 2010, we wanted to have an interesting time during the day and see more interesting projects around us. At that time, young people were incredibly bored during the day, except for those who played sports. And we brought to life exactly those ideas that we ourselves lacked. Instead of words, we organized interesting leisure activities.
I am very glad that in 2010 I attended the Afisha Picnic and visited the market there. For me it was an amazing experience of stylish and friendly retail. And when we began to think about our affairs, it was this experience that came to mind.
In the beginning, the guests of the markets were our friends and young people like us. Everyone really liked it, but many said it was a “hipster hangout.” Time passed and we became a city project. The high-quality market and environment we create allow the birth of new interesting participants. The project began to attract people because of the good sites, professional approach of the team and care for the participants. We bring together creative entrepreneurs who are original in comparison to classic retail.
There are a number of achievements that I am very proud of. For example, during two days of the market we showed the site of the Zarya Factory in all aspects: as an exhibition, music, and lecture space. My dislike for the New Year in Vladivostok motivated me to make the Scandinavian Village New Year's fair - one of the cutest and most complex projects. We also came up with neon markets, created unusual decor and shifted buyers’ attention to the atmosphere.
PechaKucha
PechaKucha or Pecha Kucha is a presentation method in which you need to have time to present 20 slides in 20 seconds each (6 minutes 40 seconds in total). This makes the presentation succinct, dynamic and to the point. The format has become incredibly popular around the world and is used not only in the creative field in which it originated, but is also suitable for various topics in the event industry.
How to use the format
PechaKucha typically consists of 8-14 separate presentations. Each should have a maximum of 20 slides, each of which should be presented in a maximum of 20 seconds. PechaKucha is usually held in unusual places, such as bars, clubs, studios, universities, temples, beaches or even caves. Time: late evening. Usually accompanied by drinks. Although PechaKucha was created to discuss design, architecture, photography, and art, the format is widely used for research projects, student dissertations, hobbies, travel itineraries, and stories. PechaKucha features a large stage, a large screen for presentations, and a visible timer to keep track of time.
Duration: about 1.5 hours
