From June 28 to July 26, 2025, the coastal Greek town of Paralia became a center of creative energy, cultural diversity and performing arts during the VI International Festival “Wave of Ideas. Greece”. The event brought together participants from Europe and Asia and reaffirmed its position as one of the significant international cultural forums for young talents. The program was organized over four consecutive weeks and included various competitive categories, professional training sessions and artistic presentations.

The festival opened with a week dedicated to fashion and stage aesthetics. Dozens of young models from China and Belarus took part in the categories “Fashion Theatres” and “Fashion Show”, participating in a series of masterclasses led by professionals from the Italian children’s modeling agency Dadoiy Yang. Etiquette and stage behavior lessons complemented their preparation, while the highlight of the week was an impressive fashion show held on the shore of the Adriatic Sea, attracting wide public and media attention.

During the following three weeks, the focus shifted to performing arts – choreography, folklore, vocal and choral performances. The festival welcomed soloists and ensembles from Lithuania, Moldova, Kazakhstan, Bulgaria, Belarus and China. Each participant had the opportunity not only to compete, but also to develop their artistic skills through creative workshops, rehearsals and professional video production provided by the organizers. The culmination of each festival stage was the traditional Gala Concert, where the international jury awarded the best performances.

The Grand Prix winners by weeks were: modeling school “All Models” (Week 1); dance ensemble “Runa”, dance ensemble “Menada” and choir “Prima” (Week 2); Diana Grebenshchikova, folklore ensemble VOINICEASCA and Choral Festival (Week 3); honored dance ensemble “Chabarok”, song and dance ensemble “Polonezyaki” and show group “Molodist” (Week 4).

The organizers announced that the rules and participation terms for the 2026 festival editions will be published by the end of November. With growing international interest and expanding scope, the next edition promises an even richer program and new artistic discoveries.
