Special attention was paid to the “Pechen Bazar” festival. This is not merely a marketplace but a creative venue where artisans, artists, and cultural figures exchange experiences, find like-minded people, and launch new projects. Every year, the festival gathers thousands of Tatar culture enthusiasts, showcasing Kazan’s national color through traditional clothing, works of art, music, and workshops.
The program also addressed ways to preserve the Tatar language outside of Tatarstan, the importance of meetings and communication between young Tatars from different regions, and the significance of visiting Kazan for strengthening national identity. Participants shared their perspectives on the challenges of preserving the language and culture in today’s world and proposed ideas for developing Tatar-language content through modern technologies.
The full program will be aired soon on the TNV television channel.
