We have started!

The International Creative Project for Children Nuclear Kids of ROSATOM State Atomic Energy Corporation has a very long-standing relationship with Hungary. The first time the project came to Hungary on tour was in 2012. We visited the Zanka Children’s Creative Center and showed the musical Dream Station. The following year, the management of the Paks NPP offered to hold the preparatory part of the project in the beautiful town of Keszthely on the shore of Lake Balaton. The tour of the project started and was warmly welcomed by the residents of the nuclear city of Paks. Since then, Hungarian children have participated in the project continuously. Last year, in addition to Paks, the tour took place in the town of Kalocsa, which will be a satellite town during the construction of the Paks-2 NPP.

In the year of the tenth anniversary, the project received an official invitation from Mr. Pal Kovacs, Head of the Office of the Minister for Design, Construction and Commissioning of New Units of Paks NPP, and Mr. Janos Šuli, Minister for Expansion of Paks NPP.

This year, to celebrate the anniversary of the project, in addition to the production of the musical, it was decided to shoot a full-length feature film. The project musical called The Lomonosov’s Scroll, will be brought to the screens and will be watched in many cities in Russia and Hungary. The author of the musical and movie script is Vladimir Karabanov, the director of the project, who has been writing scripts for 5 years. The preparatory session of the project has been extended by several days, the shooting of the movie will take place in Hungary, Yekaterinburg and Moscow. The dress rehearsal of the production is scheduled for the end of July in the city of Tolna, and the official premiere will take place on August 4th at the theater in Szekszárd.

This year’s project brought together 79 children: 56 participants from 23 cities in Russia and 23 participants from Belarus, Bangladesh, Great Britain, Hungary, Egypt, India, Kazakhstan, China, Turkey and Croatia. To participate in the project, Russian participants undergo in-person auditions, while foreign participants – children of employees of Rosatom’s foreign partner companies or children participating in the project through Rossotrudnichestvo (Federal Agency for CIS Affairs, Compatriots Living Abroad and International Humanitarian Cooperation) – undergo online auditions. Two girls from Great Britain will join the project in 6 days, and one participant from Bangladesh, charismatic Faraj, loved by all, without exception, participants of the project last year, will join the Russian part of the project in Moscow on the flight from Budapest to Yekaterinburg on August 6th, 2018.

The tour of the project will take place in two cities of the Chelyabinsk region. At the invitation of the directors of the enterprises of the Mayak Production Association and All-Russian Scientific Research Institute Of Technical Physics, as well as the heads of the cities, the project participants will show the musical Lomonosov’s Scroll in Ozersk and Snezhinsk. The tour in Ozersk is timed to the 70th anniversary of the enterprise. The performance will be held on August 9th at Our House Drama and Comedy Theater. The musical in Snezhinsk will be held on August 12th at the Oktyabr Cultural Center.

In Moscow the musical will be shown on the stage of Et Cetera theater on August 15th and 16th. One of the performances will be dedicated to the participants of the project of the last 10 years, who will specially arrive in Moscow.

The final evening of the summer session of the project will be held on August 17th in Moscow. And on August 18th the kids will leave and fly to their native cities and countries and will communicate with each other through social networks and look forward to meeting each other next year.
