From July 3rd to 9th, the Tavrida Art Cluster in Crimea hosted a summer school dedicated to the works of the Soviet writer and war correspondent Arkady Gaidar. The event included five creative disciplines: "Moving", "Apricot Orchard", "Under Dome", "Perform", and "Cultural Trade". Notably, the Republic of Dagestan had a significant presence at two of the art schools.

Gulnara Aliyeva, head of the Cultural Volunteers Foundation, represented Dagestan in the "Cultural Trade" sector. Participants in the school received masterclasses led by renowned experts on topics related to organizing and executing cultural events. The intensive program also included directing and set design for student-led events, concerts, and festivals.

The students of Dagestan State Technical University, together with members of the "Peaks of the Caucasus" choreographic ensemble, presented a unique dance performance called "Victory Dance: 80 Years Later" to commemorate the memory of the World War II. This production offered a modern interpretation of the victory of that era, incorporating vibrant choreography to songs from that time.
