94 Indonesian Youths Selected as Delegates for the 2026 International Festival of Youth in Russia
A total of 94 youths from Indonesia have been selected to serve as delegates at the 2026 International Festival of Youth, which will be held in Russia. This participation serves as proof of the enthusiasm of Indonesia's younger generation to engage in an international forum that brings together youths from various countries around the world.
The Indonesian delegation consists of two age groups. There are 12 teenagers aged 14 to 17, while the other 82 are youths ranging in age from 18 to 35. They were selected to represent Indonesia in various activities that will take place throughout the festival.
The International Festival of Youth is a platform for the younger generation to exchange ideas, culture, and experiences. Through this participation, the delegates are expected to broaden their horizons and build networks of friendship with youths from other countries. Furthermore, this event serves as an opportunity for them to introduce Indonesian culture on the world stage.
The departure of these 94 delegates is expected to have a positive impact on the development of the potential of Indonesian youths. The experience gained while attending the festival in Russia can later be brought home and applied to contribute to the nation's progress in the future.
