School pupils and students competed in the game “What? Where? When?” at Daugavpils University

From 19 October to 26 November, the DU Centre for Russian Language and Culture organised the “Autumn Marathon of Russian Culture”. During this period, DU students and school pupils from the city had the opportunity to watch documentaries about A. Pushkin, visit an exhibition of books by the outstanding Russian poet S. Yesenin, take part in the “Poetry Tournament” and go on a virtual tour of the Mikhailovskoye Museum-Reserve.

The “Autumn Marathon of Russian Culture” concluded with the intellectual game “What? Where? When?”. Seven teams took part in the quiz. Six teams of upper-secondary school pupils and a DU student team competed to determine who had the best knowledge of Russian poetry. The DU student team proved to be the best.

Among Daugavpils school pupils, the team of the 12th grade of Daugavpils School-Lyceum became the winner, the team of the 11th grade of the School-Lyceum took second place, while the team of the 11th grade of Daugavpils Secondary School No. 10 took third place.

All the winning teams received diplomas and prizes. The jury also recognised the good preparation for the competition and presented certificates of appreciation to the teams of Daugavpils Central School and the 10th grade of Daugavpils Secondary School No. 10, as well as to the team from Secondary School No. 17.
