International Talent Salute Festival. Regulations on festivals-competitions held within the framework of the international project "Salute of Talents"

December is the traditional time for parent-teacher meetings, where you discuss plans for the next six months. Of course, among these discussions there is a place for questions about traveling to festivals. Knowing that many parents are concerned about the organizational aspects of the trip, we have prepared some useful tips that we suggest using.

One of the most important questions that parents ask about participating in festivals is - Are you sure that the organizer is reliable and the festival will be held at a high level?

You can reassure parents and yourself (after all, you take responsibility for children) only if you carefully approach the issue of choosing the organizer of the festival-competition.

What we advise you to do before the meeting and what you need to tell your parents (especially if you are going to the competition organizer for the first time):
- check the availability of real photos and video reports about the festivals;
- look at the organizer's website for reviews from participants;
- ask for contacts of teachers and team leaders who have already traveled to festivals or competitions of this organizer and personally talk to these teachers (believe me, this is a great way to make sure that everything is in order with the organization).

Things to tell your parents before you travel:

Nature has no bad weather, only the wrong clothes
Check with the trip organizer and weather forecast websites for information on the weather along the route. Tell parents to bring appropriate clothing.
- Children want to eat
Plan ahead for your children's daily meals. Often only breakfasts are included in travel programs, discuss with the organizers whether it is possible to order additional meals in advance, if not, how it can be organized on the route and in the city of stay. In any case, ask parents to give their children non-perishable food - crackers, dryers, cookies, etc. with them on a trip.
- Money and children
Ask parents to give their children food money if prepaid meals are not available. Also ask parents to give their children pocket money and souvenirs along the route. In addition, we advise accompanying persons to have spare money with them in case of unforeseen expenses.

Spring with "Salute of Talents"
And, of course, we advise you to pay attention to the projects of the Creative Association "Salute of Talents".

In the spring of 2015, we offer you more than 30 festivals both in Russia (Rostov-on-Don, Moscow, Vladimir, St. Petersburg, Nizhny Novgorod, Sudak, Kazan, Ufa, Yekaterinburg) and in the world (Minsk, Berlin, Alma- Ata, Paris, Rome, Beijing, Barcelona, Vilnius, Riga, Astana, Cannes, Budapest, Vitebsk, Vienna, Tokyo, Istanbul).
