coordinator of the Trava, Cup for People
In the winter, we discussed what the World Cup means to each of us individually and what we could do during this time in our city of St. Petersburg. We thought about our interests, wrote down ideas and went to work into groups.
We decided to try to establish a cultural exchange among guests from different countries. We want to show them alternative places and civil society through excursions, events and different locations.
We organize public talks on the topic of the World Cup's «Kitchen» in order to understand better, how such an event can affect the city and how citizens can be involved in making decisions concerning mega events.
Together with international organizations and journalists, in our public programs we will focus on different local problems: discrimination of minorities, violation of rights and freedoms, ecology and inequality.

Sport events are not about great achievements, mega projects and competition for the sake of national prestige and official presentation, but about peaceful encounter of cultures and the joy of the game.
This is an opportunity to establish a connection among representatives of civil societies and to carry on meaningful discussions on different issues, such as discrimination, intercultural contact and stability of mega projects.
We would like that every football guest felt like home in St. Petersburg and left with positive memories.
