The opening ceremony was attended by about 1,000 guests, including 17 UN agencies, ambassadors, high-ranking officials, Ukrainian celebrities and youth
Presenting her exposition, the artist touched upon the problems of raising the level of water in the oceans, drying of rivers and lakes, as well as the lack of drinking water in the world.

Also during the celebration there was a photo exhibition and video “Be on the Change” (“Be the Change”), which was attended by 18 Ukrainian stars. The main idea of the campaign is to promote and achieve 17 Sustainable Development Goals for Ukrainians. During the event, the stars who participated in the information campaign shared their personal motivation to achieve the Goals.
