Smartphone and creative kit: what Permians will give children on September 1

Most Perm residents this year are going to celebrate September 1 in a narrow family circle: 41% of respondents will have a tea party at home, 24% will go to the park with their children in honor of the holiday, 14% will celebrate the beginning of the school year with a family trip to the country or out of town.

Permians consider it much less likely to arrange a holiday for the whole class: 8% of respondents plan to organize a tea party for the child with classmates, and 11% of respondents intend to send the child to celebrate the beginning of the school year with a class in a cafe or park. Also, only 6% of respondents are going to let their children go to celebrate the day of knowledge on their own with friends.

The trend towards celebrating Knowledge Day in a narrow family circle may be partly due to the situation with the covid-19 pandemic: parents are still not ready to plan large events for their children. However, at the same time, few people want to organize a holiday in Perm for children in an online format - only 5% of respondents are considering the possibility of enrolling a child in an online quest or other online event.
