spoke about the importance and the further developments of the coming
festival. They said that the festival is first of all important in the
cognitive and educational respect, it also has a creative importance,
as for the majority of the participants this festival is just an
opportunity to indroduce themselves to the society.

According to the young creators, even they often do not know about the
occupation of one another. "This is a unique opportunity to get to know

Some of them expected that in the future the festival will become
international and will create an opportunity for new contacts and
new cooperation.
