“Children are the future, supporting them we already now build the basis for future prosperity” – with these words 2014 was announced “The Year of Childhood” in the Leningrad Region by the Governor, Mr. Drozdenko.

The issue of support to children and youth and families with children in the spheres of sport, education, social rehabilitation are also among the key priorities of the EU states and Russia.

In its turn, Estonia-Latvia-Russia CBC Programme responded and integrated the thematic of children and youth support into the Annual Event 2014 held in the Gatchina Palace, Leningrad Region.
