Young people had the opportunity not only to share their traditions of the People's traditions, to sing and dance together, but also to participate in the masterworkshops offered by the School of McCasanas. The most exciting proved to be the game Laser tag when the game weapons and equipment had to be hunted. In the wood-processing workshop, there was an optical illusion in the study of natural sciences, while the new school building was created by artistic wall decorations about the spring theme.
The purpose of the event was the acquisition and inheritance of local singing, narrative, musical and dancing traditions in the context of the topic “beyond the upward of the river”, 'tasty' and 'Kōzys'.
The event was organised by the co-ordinator of the group of children and youth folklore of North Latgale Rasma Igaune, L.Rananes McKashan High School collective and Director Gundega Ranāne.
