Children's Festival "LEARN TO FLY" is wrapping up at YARAT Contemporary Art Centre.

LEARN TO FLY gives children wings to soar high in the world of creativity, dream of the brighter future and unlock their full potential.

It’s a day full of adventure and exciting activities.

"While working with children, we consider that our main goal is to unlock the potential of every child. Teaching the child to dream and create, we give him wings and make his future brighter by helping to reach his potential!" said organizers of the event.

The festival grabbed great interest among children.

During the festival, visitors created delicious and healthy dishes and smoothies with seasonal fruits and vegetables, Trend Life reported.
