What’s the regional expedition program of the IFY–2026 really like? 🌏

The answer is right in this post! Right now, participants are traveling across Russia’s regions, the federal territory of “Sirius,” as well as Abkhazia and South Ossetia — discovering their history, culture and traditions, and meeting local young people.


And this is just the beginning. Here are the first stops on the map, with the latest updates:

📍Vologda Oblast 13 international participants are getting to know Vologda: visiting the Lace Museum, St. Sophia Cathedral, “Semyonkovo,” Ferapontov Monastery and other landmark sites. The program also includes a traditional doll-making workshop, an ATV expedition, and a meeting with students from Vologda State University.

📍Novgorod Oblast The region has already welcomed its international participants, who are now exploring the history and culture of the Novgorod land.

📍Omsk Oblast 25 young people from 18 countries set off to explore Omsk and its history. The program includes the pedestrian Lyubinsky Avenue, Omsk Fortress, the renovated “Derzhava” globe sculpture, and a trip to “Starina Sibirskaya” in Bolsherechye.

📍Karachay-Cherkessia 29 international guests are discovering the region’s culture, traditions and unique character. They’re meeting with young people and Cossack community representatives, learning about youth policy, and exchanging experiences.

📍Republic of Kalmykia Participants have already been welcomed here, with a full program lined up to introduce them to the region and Russian culture.
From Vologda to Kalmykia, from Siberia to Ugra — it’s one big expedition, helping people see Russia through its people, cities, traditions and real encounters.

🔥Stay tuned — there are even more stories on the way!
