Prize-winners of the sixth All-Ukrainian multi-genre circus arts festival Bilhorod Circus Fest will go on tour to Croatia. The money for the trip came from the Andrii Zasukha Charity Fund: a certificate for 330,000 UAH was handed to the young artists in Bilohorodka during a training session.

The Andrii Zasukha Charity Fund announced this. At the invitation of the troupe, the children were visited by Bilohorodka village head Anton Ovsiienko, the fund’s director Oleh Tykhonenko and village council member Viacheslav Volovyk.

What was presented

The guests watched the training, talked to the children, parents and coaches, and at the end handed over the certificate: 330,000 UAH to fund the tour of the festival prize-winners to the Republic of Croatia. There, 35 of the best young circus artists will represent Ukraine at a festival.

“At such a difficult time for Ukraine it is especially important to support children, their talents and dreams. To give them the chance to see the world, to gain new emotions and to know that there are people beside them who believe in them,” the fund said, thanking parents, coaches and local authorities.

What Bilhorod Circus Fest is

The youth circus festival in Bilohorodka is now in its sixth year. Last year’s anniversary edition on 10 May 2025 brought together more than a hundred children from across Ukraine and, thanks to the local authority, was free for participants; the jury, according to the organisers, included Roman Zdrenyk, director of the Lviv State Circus, and Ihor Chemortan, chief director of the Chisinau circus.

As a reminder, the Sports Academy in Bucha is recruiting young basketball players — an Honoured Coach of Ukraine will train them.
