International Festival of Youth 2026 People Passport

International Festival of Youth 2026 People Passport

Meet the world at events. Collect People Emblems like digital business cards, with a shared memory.

11–17 September 2026

Yekaterinburg, Russia

People Emblems for this passport could only be made in Yekaterinburg during the festival.

Meet someone, capture a Dual and keep a People Emblem connected to their pavilion.

From a hello to a People Emblem

Meet someone: Say hello to someone from another country or region.

Capture a Dual: One photo with both cameras: the main camera and the front camera, in the same moment.

Choose their pavilion: Connect the photo to the pavilion of the person you met: their country, their territory or their region of Russia.

Keep a People Emblem: It joins your People Passport like a digital business card, with a memory you share.

Met at the festival

People Emblems their collectors made public: the main-camera photo, the front-camera circle and the pavilion of the person they met.

Only People Emblems made public by their collectors appear here, one per collector. Regular Dual posts are not included.

Pavilions

Every country and territory has its pavilion in this passport, and Russia also counts its regions. Each pavilion counts once, however many people you meet from it.

The festival

The International Festival of Youth – 2026 (IFY – 2026) brought young people from all over the world to Yekaterinburg, Russia, from 11 to 17 September 2026.

Emblem ran the People Passport there as an independent pilot. It was not part of the official festival programme, and Emblem did not organise the festival.

Every People Emblem stays with the collector who made it. Collectors choose what is public, and anyone in a photo can ask for its removal.

Keep the people you meet

Open the People Passport in the Emblem app. Every People Emblem keeps a person, a pavilion and the moment you met.
