Tourism & Travel
Russian term or phrase: культурная программа
This is something included in the cost of participating in a volunteer program. Things like оформление приглашения на визу, помощь в размещении, услуги переводчика are also included.

Does программа imply some sort of performance? Or just an introduction to the local culture (in this case, Buryat). Thanks!

There might be equal parts of local and Russian culture on the one hand and an overall program of "cultural" entertainment, on the other.

культурная программа
tourism package


Explanation:
Not clear if this is a programme that hotels etc sign up for, or for visitors, but I think this will do either way. It avoids the two extremes of "culture" and "entertainment".

культурная программа
leisure and cultural activities


Explanation:
This usually refers to events offered or organized outside of the regular working hours of the conference, meeting, etc. It may be anything from a city tour to an evening at the opera.
