It was necessary to prepare well and know the topic or logically calculate the correct answer. This is our first time at the Timurovets Club. It's cozy and very interesting. It turns out that such meetings are planned monthly. We will wait for the next game, the finalists of the local history game said. About the school of the young guide: a new stream of participants of the School of the young guide was announced in November 2023. The duration of training is three months. During this time, future guides learn the basics of excursion studies and study the history of their native land. Students of the social project will acquire new competencies in working with tourists and immerse themselves in the study of the tourist potential of the region. The school of a young guide is held in Primorsky Krai for the fourth time: the first stream were pupils of the Center for Assistance to Family Structure No. 1. Over the past and current years, 50 people successfully completed the project. The material was prepared by the Tourist Information Center of Primorsky Krai (Visit Primorye).
