Suspilne, the Ukrainian national broadcaster, have revealed the new host venue for ‘Star School’ the preliminary round to their national final, ahead of the 2026 Junior Eurovision Song Contest, in Ta’ Qali.

Suspilne has announced that ‘Star School’, for its selection for the Junior Eurovision Song Contest, is set to travel to the Carpathian Mountains, with the Children’s Camp ‘One Land’ in Bukovel, the host venue for the preliminary round of their national selection. Ruslan Tkachenko, Director of One Land, had the following to say:

“When you work with children every day, you begin to understand even more how important it is to support their dreams. That is why it was a natural decision for us to become the general partner of the National Selection for Junior Eurovision 2026.

We believe that every child deserves the opportunity to show their talent, and our task is to create conditions in which these talents can be revealed. For the One Land children’s camp, it is a great honour to be part of a project that inspires children and opens up new opportunities for them.”

Oksana Skybinska, the Ukrainian Head of Delegation, had the following to say:

“Since the “Star School” takes place in the summer, we want children to get maximum joy and pleasure from it. It is important for us that participants are safe during classes, so this year we chose the Carpathians. We hope that in the conditions of the star camp, children will be able to fully enjoy creativity, interesting master classes and acquaintance with industry specialists. We are grateful to “One Land” for cooperation in the organisation.”
