The story behind it
Founded by the RAES community and local authorities to engage young Ukrainians in arts and ecology. The setting on one of North Polissya’s largest lakes emphasizes regional attachment to nature. Contributions of folk and pop performers connect Polissya identity (zahalnoverter culture) with environmental awareness. The festival aims to show that protecting the environment is integral to love of homeland.
