A City Open to All:
How SIBUR Creates a Space for Inclusion and Creativity
The inclusive festival "A City Open to All" is a vibrant celebratory event organised within SIBUR's "Formula for Good Deeds" programme. The project transforms the city into an accessible, comfortable, and friendly space for every resident; regardless of age or ability, everyone can find an activity to enjoy from sports competitions and creating art objects to enjoying live music.

SIBUR's Contribution:
Creator of a Multi-Layered Inclusive Space
The company organised the festival in such a way that it united people with different abilities and showed what a truly open and accessible city can be—a city where there is a place for everyone.
Platform for Local Talents and Initiatives
SIBUR provided a stage and a platform for a wide variety of local talents, showcasing the richness of the local cultural and social environment.
Producer of an Inclusive Celebration
The project supports the development of an inclusive society, socialisation, and the support of people with disabilities.
The "A City Open to All" festival is an embodied model of an ideal city. It is a place where everyone is valued, where creativity is accessible to all, and where the main result is not a report, but a living, genuine feeling of community and celebration that stays with the citizens for a long time.
