The All-Russian annual event "Cultural Saturday. Fairy Tales of the Peoples of Russia"

From July 10 to 30, 2024, within the framework of the interdepartmental cultural and educational project "Culture for Schoolchildren", the All-Russian annual action "Cultural Saturday" will be held, aimed at popularizing the traditions of the peoples of Russia. This year's event is dedicated to folk tales.

Thanks to folk tales, we know what people used to believe, how they imagined the world around them. Each of the peoples living on the territory of modern Russia has created a huge number of various fairy tales, from a very young age each of us is familiarized with this magical world. And the ability to invent and tell fairy tales has been valued since ancient times on a par with the skill of craftsmen or hunters.

Schoolchildren from all over Russia can take part in the creative competition and show their talents in acting or literature. To do this, they need to record a video with a reading of a fairy tale in one of three nominations: "Fairy tales of the peoples of Russia", "Fairy tales of Russian writers", "My author's fairy tale" and leave an application for participation in the personal cabinet on the portal "Culturedlyashkolniki.RF".

Record a video in the museum against the backdrop of the exhibition "Pushkin's Fairy Tales" or in the interactive exposition "Peasant's Farmstead" to increase your chances of success! 

When:

• July 13 from 10:00 to 17:30 in the hut "Peasant farmstead"
• July 20 from 10:00 to 17:30 at the exhibition "Fairy Tales of Alexander Pushkin"
