"Vitebsk Region Championship among Working Youth-2025". A tournament of intellectual games was held in Vitebsk
– Our regional intellectual tournament has already become a tradition; over the years of the game, the number of participating teams has increased from 7 to 37! – noted the head of the information and analytical department of the regional newspaper "Vitebsk News" Svyatoslav Mikhaylov. – This shows the interest of the youth. We always invite as many guys as possible, and there is a response, and that is the main thing.
37 teams demonstrated their erudition by testing their knowledge in various fields. The tournament featured both professional and amateur teams from Vitebsk, Polotsk, Novopolotsk, and Ushach.
The championship took place in several stages. The first – "Own Game" included two blocks of blitz questions. Participants needed critical thinking skills, as they were given only a few minutes to find the answers.
For successful completion of the second stage called "What? Where? When?" not only knowledge of history, geography, and medicine was important, but also resourcefulness and ingenuity.
– Very interesting and diverse questions. We highly value our teamwork because we have played together before. For me, the tournament is a boost of intellectual energy, a development of thinking, – shared his impressions Vladislav Meleshko, a representative of the Vitebsk branch of the Belarusian Railway.
