St. Petersburg, Russia—The ninth annual Eco-Losevo ecological festival organized by UPF brought together 60 participants of different ages.
The festival took place from June 9 to 11, 2023, in the Losevo area of Leningrad Region.
The participants—representatives of public organizations, people who learned about UPF through social networks, as well as members of organizations affiliated with UPF—took an active role in organizing the event.
The goals of the festival were to awaken in the participants a responsible attitude toward the world around them and to create a culture of relaxation and relationships between people based on conscious consumption and mutual care.
The participants were moved not only by the satisfaction of cleaning the environment but also by the beautiful nature and good weather, games and challenges, and songs about kindness, about God, and about love.
Everyone felt charged with positivity, as well as the desire to take care of nature and the people around them.
