The festival had a rich program: more than 850 events took place such as lectures and meetings with famous speakers, morning shows and evening concerts, master classes, fairs and much more, I’m glad that the foreign participants of the WYF-2024 visited our town and enterprise. It was nice to see the interest of the guests and engage in dialogue with them. We managed to get to know some of them better and learn about their work experience. I hope for further cooperation, projects and communication.”
