Students Participated in Intellectual Game “My Finnougoria”
The Finno-Ugric regions of Russia implemented the interregional project “Pride of People – Native Language”. The aim of the project is to increase youth interest in studying the culture, traditions, and languages of the indigenous and small peoples of the Finno-Ugric language group.
Petrozavodsk State University has joined the project for the second time. The teachers of the Department of Baltic and Finnish Philology held an intellectual quiz “My Finnougoria”. Among the contestants were the 1st year students of the Institute of Philology program “Foreign Philology (Finnish Language and Literature, Karelian Language)” and the Institute of Pedagogy and Psychology program “Teacher Education. Primary Education and Teaching Native (Karelian) Language”.
The students tested their logic, attention, and erudition. The game consisted of several rounds, each with specific questions. In a minute the contestants wrote the answers and the one to score the most points for correct answers became the winner. All students successfully answered the questions and demonstrated extensive knowledge in the history and culture of the Finno-Ugric world.
