On August 10, Svobodny hosted the annual festival of national cultures Svobodny: We’re All Among Our Own! drawing hundreds of local residents and visitors to the city. A creative venue titled the Russian Matryoshka, set up by Svobodny’s branch of Gazprom Transgas Tomsk’s main pipeline operation center as part of the Living Motifs project, turned into one of the most vibrant centers of attraction for the young.

The festival’s attendees learned the basics of traditional painting on wood and handcrafted their own souvenirs, hand-painted matryoshkas, or nesting dolls. Even before the venue’s official opening, a line of those who were eager to try their hand at being folk craftsmen formed at the entrance. The warm and friendly atmosphere served as an inspiration not only for the children in attendance but also for adults. In total, the magnet of creativity brought together more than 70 young participants, turning the workshop into a genuine celebration of art. Corporate volunteers from Gazprom Transgas Tomsk, Amur GCC, Gazprombank, and Sinopec Engineering Group Rus helped organize and run the event.

The Living Motifs project became the winner of the Communities Changing the World grant contest conducted in Amur Oblast by the regional chapter of the National Corporate Volunteering Council (NCVC) with the support of SIBUR’s Formula for Good Deeds social investment program.
