The Follow Up Siberia program is arranged to support the main idea of the Games, which is dedicated to friendship and cooperation between young people from different countries and to open Siberia to the world - modern, sportive and hospitable. The Follow Up Siberia project is based on the "Part of Siberia in My City" online contest. Any inhabitant of the planet could try to find common features between his city (country) and Siberia and post a photo or video on this topic on the Internet with the hashtag #followupsiberia. The authors of the best pictures visited Norilsk, Dudinka, Krasnoyarsk, Chita and Belokurikha - the famous resort of Altai. The best of them came to Krasnoyarsk during the Universiade. The interactive map of "Parts of Siberia" from all around the world everybody can see on the official site of the project www.followupsiberia.com, while the journeys of foreign guests in Siberia are posted in social media accounts of the project.
