Accreditation of Foreign Journalists and Bloggers for the International Festival of Youth – 2026 Ongoing

From September 11 to 17, Ekaterinburg will become the city of the world's youth. This large-scale event will bring together 10 000 young leaders from 190 countries — professionals who have already made achievements and proven their expertise in science, education, media, public administration, entrepreneurship, and other fields — to exchange experience, address global challenges, and shape a shared vision of the future.
 

The festival program will feature media figures, as well as leading Russian and international experts.

You can submit your application until July 17, 2026, via the International Platform of Opportunities.

Accreditation grants access to all official event venues. An International Media Center will be set up for media representatives, offering workspaces and a lounge area, as well as spaces for press briefings, daily briefings, and exclusive interviews.

Foreign media representatives will also be provided with transfer to Ekaterinburg and accommodation services at the city's hotels.

Foreign journalists without accreditation from the Russian Foreign Ministry must attach the following to their application:

an editorial assignment;
a media outlet certificate;
a brief biography (CV);
a personal photo;
