The present contribution sums up the main activities related to celebrations of the IYCr in Novosibirsk (Russia). I give a general overview of crystallographic research and education in Novosibirsk at the Russian Academy of Sciences and at the Novosibirsk State University, to explain which basis we have for organizing various activities for children and for general public. I shall, in particular, describe the program of continuous crystallographic education starting from nursery to the university, including crystal growth courses and competitions, research projects involving children, festivals, public lectures, various competitions and exhibitions. A special attention will be paid to the activity of school-children from the French school, who have translated all the posters prepared by J.-L. Hodeau from French into Russian. The group has visited Grenoble and presented their work there, and participated also in the IYCr Opening Ceremony. Other activities include International Workshops and Conferences for students and young scientists, as well as an OpenLab in cooperation with STOE (Darmstadt).
