RGO shifts in federal children's centers. The Russian Geographical Society announces a competition for Changes of the Russian Geographical Society

The best of the best among school geography connoisseurs from all over Russia got the opportunity to put their knowledge into practice and exchange experiences on the Black Sea coast. In the legendary "Eaglet" sums up the so-called "GeoChange". Her pupils easily cope with tasks that make most adults dizzy.

The task is not easy - first you need, like a real meteorologist, to determine what the weather conditions are like in Central Russia today.

“The task is to collect indicators on meteorological instruments that are located in our integrated weather station, for example, 760 millimeters of pressure, temperature, humidity, radiation level,” explained Galina Radko, head of the educational program for meteorology and geomorphology.

For 21 days, schoolchildren from all over the country not only rested at sea, but also studied under the conditions of the profile shift of the Russian Geographical Society in Orlyonok. The competition is growing every year - this time 700 best experts in geography applied for 100 places.

“The most important thing that children get here is a conscious, very careful attitude towards the environment. They are learning to be ecologists, people who will leave their planet to their future children and grandchildren,” said Alexander Dzheus, director of the Orlyonok All-Russian Children’s Center.

Here they know exactly how to teach children to love and appreciate the nature of Russia. The territory of the camp is three hundred hectares - more than some European countries. Around the reserve, rare plants and a special layer of soil. Russian geographical society conducts profile shifts "World of Discoveries" also in Vladivostok and the Crimea, but only in "Eaglet", due to the unique conditions, the most interesting and at the same time difficult practical tasks.

Determine azimuth, angle and distance. Schoolchildren are easily controlled with the devices of professional specialists. And in a matter of seconds they can set up a tent.

Profile shifts of the Russian Geographical Society have been held for the fourth year already. Candidates and doctors of sciences, travelers and photographers give lectures to those who passed the competition and got here for free in Orlyonok.

“We introduce them not only to geographic equipment, but also bring to them a lot of diverse specialists, and the guys are sometimes surprised, they say - is this also geography? Because there are a lot of professions related to geography, ranging from tourism to construction, geology, archeology, speleology - this is all geography, too, ”said Elena Lubashevskaya, coordinator of the profile shift of the Russian Geographical Society World of Discoveries.

The final stage of the quest - on the big map of Russia, the winners must stand on the regions from which they came, then a group photo, and then the guys write a letter to the participants of the next profile shift of the Russian Geographical Society.

“In our appeal, we wished the “oceanites” not to strive for individual awards, because spiritual values ​​are much more important for a person than material ones,” Fedor Bondarenko, a participant in the shift, emphasized.

But as the schoolchildren themselves admit, the main thing is new friends. By the participants of the shift, you can study the geography of Russia. And it doesn't matter which team won, in the evening everyone gathers around the fire, sings songs and makes wishes.
