On June 1, a researcher at the “Museum of Bulgarian Civilization” department of the Bolgar Museum-Reserve S. V. Krivosheyeva held an interactive event called “Rainbow of Talents” for guests of the museum to celebrate International Children’s Day. 22 people attended the event.
The children learned that the origins of the holiday date back to 1925 when the World Conference on Children’s Welfare was held in Geneva. One version says that it was on June 1 that the Consul General of China in San Francisco organized a celebration for Chinese orphans, and this date coincided with the Geneva Conference. After World War II, in 1949, at the Women’s Congress in Paris, a pledge was made to fight for peace as a guarantee of children’s happiness. In the same year, at the session of the Council of the International Democratic Federation of Women, a decision was made to establish the holiday, and in 1950, on June 1, the first International Children’s Day was celebrated, which has been celebrated annually ever since.
As part of the tour program, young visitors were able to touch history by exploring museum objects and architectural monuments from the 13th and 14th centuries. However, the real magic began during the event itself. “Rainbow of Talents” allowed each child to feel like a true artist, and the vibrant photographs captured the happy moments of this unforgettable day. The event served as a vivid example of how a museum can become more than just a repository of the past, but a vibrant space where new knowledge and talents are born, where history comes alive in the hearts of young visitors, inspiring them to achieve great things.
