The Forum was attended by Natalia Kaptelinina, Deputy of the VIII State Duma; Olga Kachanova, Head of Department of Social Welfare of the Krasnoyarsk City Administration; Nikolai Kanunov, Deputy Director of the Diana Gurtskaya Centre for Social Integration; and representatives of the the Krasnoyarsk Regional Ministry of Culture and Ministry of Education. The event was moderated by Nadezhda Bolsunovskaya, leader of the Right to Happiness.
Participants praised the Forum and thanked the organisers for discussing relevant issues and highlighting the importance of inclusion in our daily lives. Natalia Kaptelinina spoke about the event on social media:
— The event opened with incredibly moving performances by the artists who, although may find some things challenging to handle, yet posess such limitless potential for self-realization, it is truly amazing. For this, I express my deep gratitude to the Krasnoyarsk Regional Government, the Krasnoyarsk City Administration, and all the NGOs supporting these young people. And, of course, I express my gratitude to our entire community, which is ready to watch, listen, support, and help artists with limited mobility realize their potential. This is a truly necessary and important event for developing the best solutions that could be replicated in other cities in the region and throughout Russia. I wish the Forum participants further active and productive work!
