Belarusian pupils won EGEO-2024!
This year Serbia took on the hosting duties for the 10th tournament from June 28 to July 4. The tournament had three stages: theory, practice and multimedia. All tasks were in English and divided into the main sections of physical and socio-economic geography, geo-ecology and cartography. Individual competitions were held for two age categories of participants – 12-15 and 16-19 years old.
Young geographers from Belarus took part for the fourth time. This year they demonstrated a high level of preparation for the international intellectual tournament, as evidenced by their brilliant results.
Our guys chased victory along with about 200 representatives from 11 countries: Russia, Serbia, Kazakhstan, Bulgaria, Romania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Czech Republic, Lithuania, Denmark and Slovenia. But in individual tests, it was the quality of Belarusian education that prevailed.
