TOMSK, Jan 21 –
RIA Tomsk. Tomsk traveler Evgeny
Kovalevsky and his colleague from Novosibirsk Stanislav Berezkin will conduct
various studies during their circumnavigation, and will also conduct lessons
for schoolchildren and students via satellite, is reported on the website of the
Ministry of Science and Higher Education.
Earlier it was

and to study the natural background radiation of the Earth on land and in the
ocean along the route of the expedition. Siberians will also conduct training
sessions for schoolchildren and students.
"During the
expedition will be implemented educational programs for schoolchildren
and students. Among them there are "Lessons from the Ocean", which
the trimaran team will conduct via satellite communications, and "Live
Geography Lessons" – a series of educational videos that will be filmed
during the expedition and posted on the Internet in the public domain", – the
ministry said.
It is specified
that another goal of the expedition will be diplomatic – the members of the
expedition, including the Tomsk traveler Evgeny Kovalevsky and the Novosibirsk
citizen Stanislav Berezkin, will represent Russia, its scientific, educational
and tourist potential in 40 countries and territories along the route of the
vessel.
