On March 20, 2025, the music cycle of the International Youth Festival ‘The Planet of Art–2025' was officially launched as part of Kazakhstan's chairmanship in the World Federation of Clubs and Associations for UNESCO.

This project aims to support creative youth, promote the diversity of cultural expression and strengthen friendly ties between countries through art, based on the concept of a "culture of peace".

‘The Planet of Art–2025' is being implemented as part of the promotion of the "Pact for the Future", adopted by the UN General Assembly in September 2024, as well as the celebrations of the 125th anniversary of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, the 100th anniversary of Maya Plisetskaya, the 180th anniversary of Abai Qunanbaiuly, the 100th anniversary of Nurgisa Tlendiyev and other outstanding figures whose creative legacy has left a significant mark on world culture.

The Festival provides young talents with the opportunity to showcase their skills in vocal, instrumental and choreographic categories. The project is aimed at participants aged 12 to 18 from UNESCO member-states, where Associations and Clubs for UNESCO exist, who aspire to develop their artistic abilities and promote the ideals of peace and harmony through creativity.

The final of the Festival will feature a large-scale Gala concert with an official awarding ceremony in Almaty. The concert will unite global musical culture and the works of national composers in a single theatrical program.
