During the meeting, the Artistic Director and General Director of the Mariinsky Theatre Valery Gergiev emphasised the need to arrange trips to the cultural and educational centre for schoolchildren from different municipalities of Primorye Territory, especially from remote towns and villages. Children should see live opera and ballet performances and, of course, learn that they can study ballet and the art of playing various musical instruments in their home region.

As soon as the cultural and educational centre starts functioning, schoolchildren from all over Primorye will become its regular visitors.

Primorye Governor Oleg Kozhemyako emphasized that the centre which will visited by lots of children and adults every day must have an on-site medical office. So he instructed the regional Ministry of Health accordingly, stating that several rooms should be provided in the office so that there is both an examination room and a treatment room so that people could be immediately administered first aid.

Natalya Volynskaya, President of the National Cultural Heritage Foundation, in turn, noted that a large parking lot is planned at the site, so employees and parents driving their children to school or visitors of institutions located here do not have to worry that there will be no parking space.
