On November 30, the Russian-Jamaican Cultural Exchange Club “Russkiy na Jamaica” hosted in Kingston Geographical Dictation for the first time, an international educational event under the auspices of the Russian Geographical Society.

Along with Jamaicans and compatriots living on the island, Russian ambassador to Jamaica, Sergey Petrovich, and staff of the Russian diplomatic mission took part in the event.

In his welcoming speech, Ambassador Petrovich emphasised the global nature of the initiative, in which more than four million people from 136 countries have participated since 2015, and also highlighted its importance in strengthening bilateral scientific, educational, and humanitarian ties.

The participants answered 20 test questions and received the participation certificates.

After the Dictation, the participants enjoyed traditional Russian cuisine, as well as the cultural programme, that consisted of a photo exhibition with landscapes of the country and performance of traditional folk songs.

The results of the Dictation will be released on December 21 and they can be accessed at RGS-website ( https://dictant.rgo.ru/) using an individual identification number.
