NEWS
A vote has opened on the website of the Russian Centre in Scotland as part of the competition "Scotland - RussiaThrough the Eyes of the Children".
The competition results were summed up by the authoritative commission made up from representatives of cities of Aberdeen, Glasgow, Dundee, London, Moscow, Nizhny Novgorod and Edinburgh.
Nevertheless, at the request of a number of participants the decision was made to place the drawings on the website and allow all those interested to have a free vote.
The voting will remain open until March 14.
To admire the achievements of our children and to support the works you like, please follow these link:
The Total Dictation is an annual educational event aimed at drawing attention to issues of literacy and at developing a culture of literate writing. In essence, the event is a voluntary free dictation open for everyone taking place at the same time in tens of cities in Russia and around the world (adjusted for time zones). The Total Dictation is a peculiar flashmob event. People unfamiliar with each other learn about the event on the Internet, gather at the same time in one place, do something strange together and then disperse. The first Total Dictation which took place in Glasgow last year brought together people not indifferent towards Russian in Scotland. For those of us living here participation in such a project is not as much a way of increasing literacy but a desire to preserve a communion to this great sacrament – the Russian language. On April 18, 2015 in the Total dictation 354 cities in the different countries of the world will take part.
