The Kemerovo cultural and educational centre is one of four similar projects simultaneously built by Stroytransgaz across Russia in accordance with the Russia’s President’s mandate.

The creation of modern cultural & educational centres is a unique Russian educational project that will change the quality of life throughout the Russian Federation through introduction to art. Schools as part of these centres have all conditions required for affordable and high-quality vocational training of young talents, who will become the new cultural and creative capital of this country.

The project is important for developing international cultural collaboration and will be of particular economic and social importance not only for the region, but for the whole country.
