Articles and video essays
Two editorial formats united by six themes
Voices of Peoples is a digital exhibition of living stories
A space where personal stories become part of our shared cultural memory
Voices of Peoples is a digital platform where every participant of the International Youth Festival can tell a story about their people, culture, traditions, language or family customs.
The interactive exhibition tells of cultural diversity through the living stories of festival participants. It creates a platform for dialogue where everyone can share their people, traditions and language — and others can listen, understand and value this diversity.
The project makes the festival a living map of cultures that grows in real time with voices from around the world and remains an archive of authentic stories after the event.
