The flagship lecture hall of the Russian Society "Knowledge" will be located in pavilion 57 "Russia - My History". There will be an interactive educational exposition "Labyrinth of Knowledge" dedicated to the groundbreaking inventions that were made in our country and changed the world.

Also, this pavillion will host the educational marathon of the Russian Society "Knowledge" - Knowledge.First, that will start on the opening day of the Exposition at VDNH and will be held on November 4-6. The marathon will be conceptually integrated into the theme of the Exposition at VDNH, where each letter in the word "Russia" has a certain meaning. Following the same logic, six marathon tracks are planned. The main topic for discussion will be the current achievements of our country and its citizens, which contribute to the development of Russia and increase its prestige in the international arena. Registration for the marathon is still open, until October 20 there is a chance to become a full-time participant of the program.

The audience can expect a lot of interesting things in each of the Exposition lecture halls. For example, pavilion 32-34 "Space" will host space lessons with a live broadcast from the Russian ISS. In pavilion 19 "Atom" visitors will be able to feel, literally feel with their skin, what happens inside an atom. An installation in the "Atom" pavilion will translate scientific terms into visuals to make it easier to understand what they mean.

Each week of the educational program will be devoted to a specific topic. The topics include Russia's achievements, tourism and hospitality industry, traditional spiritual and moral values, science and technology, culture and art, sports and healthy lifestyle.

"We have planned more than 5,500 performances in six months. It seems to me that no one in the world has ever done a program of this scale, we are the first, and this is another achievement, - said Maxim Dreval. -The program has a certain architecture. Every week we have tried to arrange the focus so as to give all participants an opportunity to immerse themselves in the key industries, areas of achievements and key holidays that fall on the dates of the Exposition. It's done so that there will always be an interest to come back again, meaning that each week there will be a new theme, new focuses, and new events. In the coming days, we will publish a specific schedule and give the opportunity to book seats in the halls".

The Educational Week will already take place in October - it is a training program for teachers from general educational institutions, secondary vocational education and supplementary education organizations of Moscow and the Moscow Region, who will conduct excursion lessons at the VDNH grounds for schoolchildren and students.
