International educational campaign "Geographical dictation"

For the 10th time, the Siberian State University of Geosystems and Technologies hosted the anniversary international educational event "Geographical Dictation".

Since 2015, the Russian Geographical Society, on the initiative of the Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Society V. V. Putin, has been holding a geographical dictation, the main goal of which is to unite all those interested in the geography, ecology, history and culture of Russia.

The popularity of the geographical dictation is growing every year. The crew from the International Space Station transmitted its support to the participants of the dictation directly from orbit.

- A striking feature of the geographical dictation this year was the voices of famous literary and artistic figures: L. N. Tolstoy, F. I. Shalyapin, S. A. Yesenin, created using neural networks and artificial intelligence, - commented Ya. G. Poshivaylo, head of the Department of Cartography and Geoinformatics.

For all 10 years, the permanent host of the geographic dictation at the SSUGIT site has been a great lover and expert in geography - E. L. Kasyanova, associate professor of the Department of Cartography and Geoinformatics.

Over 150 people took part in writing the geographic dictation at the SSUGT site. Students and schoolchildren were the most active.

Videos on geography were shown as part of the event. Thematic quizzes and educational games were held, the winners of which received prizes.

Based on the results of the Geographical Dictation, prizes will be raffled off among the participants and subscribers of the SSUGT Department of Cartography and Geoinformatics VKontakte group.
