On August 2, the international shift “Artek, add friends” ended. It was attended by children from 52 countries, including the program “Hello, Russia!”.
At the “Meeting before parting”, each Artek resident became a participant in the play “The House of my Heart”. Creative teams from different countries and a Large children’s choir also performed in front of the children. In addition, the children were awarded the main award of the center — a sign of public recognition “Artek Star”. And from the main stage, the manifesto of “Peace and Friendship” was read out, which was adopted at the round table “Club of Friends of Russia”.
“At Artek, I learned to work in a team, work hard, respect every action. Most of all I remember the extras, the trip to Ayu-Dag and the trip to Sevastopol. Artek is the best camp in the world for me. I wish those children who want to get here to work hard on themselves, not regret anything, go to their goal and not be discouraged”, Valery from South Ossetia shared his impressions.
