ROZUMfest 2026 became much more than a children’s competition.

What we saw went beyond creative work. It was a way of thinking — an attempt to understand oneself through culture, to find one’s place in the Ukrainian context, and to express it in a contemporary language.

We would like to express our sincere gratitude to the National Reserve “Hetman’s Capital” for their partnership, trust, and high level of event organization, as well as for their attention to each participant and the gifts that became a meaningful gesture of support.
We thank the children for the courage to think, feel, and create from within, and we thank their parents and mentors for guiding and nurturing them. Their voices are more than the promise of our future — they are already part of Ukrainian culture today.
