On November 29, the Geographical Dictation will take place, organized by the Russian Geographical Society. The large-scale international educational campaign "Geographical Dictation" has been held in order to popularize geographical knowledge, increase interest in the geography of Russia among the population of Russia and around the world at the initiative of the President of the Russian Federation, Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Russian Geographical Society, V.V. Putin since 2015.
The Republican Special Library for the Blind and Visually Impaired will once again become a platform for the participation of VOS members in this large-scale action. Due to the likelihood of an unfavorable epidemiological situation this year, participants in the dictation at the library site will be able to pass it in a remote format. For the visually impaired with a remainder of vision, a special version of the Dictation and special forms with an enlarged font were developed.
