The Fragile Beauty Exhibition
The exhibition is dedicated to the preservation of Russia’s biodiversity and reflects the priority of environmental education on the Sirius federal territory, a UNESCO partner since 2023.
The exhibition features watercolor paintings and ceramic sculptures created by participants of the fine arts programs at the Sirius Educational Center.
The Fragile Beauty exhibition aims to draw attention to the issues of endangered species
and biodiversity conservation in the face of current environmental challenges, as well as to inspire the younger generation to treat nature with care and respect.

THE MAGIC OF WATERCOLOR
ART CLASSES
up to 15 students aged 12−17, all skill levels
Dive into the magical world of watercolor painting! Our master class is based on the unique author’s Multilayer Watercolor technique of Sergey Andriaka, which involves the joint and simultaneous work of the teacher and students.
During the master class, participants will learn all the secrets of working with this amazing medium — watercolors. With the help of an experienced instructor, beginner artists will learn how to create light, transparent layers and convey atmosphere and mood through color transitions and gentle strokes. Each participant will make a unique postcard to keep or gift.

SOILS AND CLIMATE CHANGE
Young Scientists School
Leading scientists will deliver public lectures on how modern climate change impacts soil composition and properties, focusing on challenges faced by the UAE. The topics include agroforestry, urban soils in managed ecosystems, and fire effects on soil. Students and researchers can join interactive games like ˝World Soils˝ and ˝Carbon-Neutral City˝, where they’ll explore properties of different soil types or design zero-emission cities. Additionally, research teams in soil and agricultural sciences can receive expert consultations from professor Yakov Kuzyakov, a top 1 % global scientist in the field.
