We’re going to the future! A quest for children named "Journey On a 2-3-2B Steam Locomotive" to be launched at the National Centre RUSSIA

---

On 9 September, the National Centre RUSSIA will launch a new educational project for children and parents — an interactive quest across seven regions of the country. It will be held as part of the "Region-2030. The platform of the Future" exposition. Young researchers will set off on a great adventure riding the legendary record-breaking steam locomotive.

Each stop is a new world full of discoveries: from Caucasian legends and Dagestan rugs to the Vostochny cosmodrome in the Amur region and the famous Tula gingerbreads.

Exciting tasks, legends and scientific facts — and most importantly — a lively acquaintance with the culture and riches of Russia's regions, await the children. 

— the Republic of Dagestan: Caucasian legends and the art of carpet weaving;

— the Chelyabinsk region: Bolshaya Kamennaya River and Ural industry;

— the Nenets Area: the life of the tundra;

— the Amur region: the Vostochny cosmodrome and unique lakes;

— the Jewish Autonomous region: musical traditions and natural diversity;

— Voronezh: the cat from Lizyukova Street, and the history of the peaceful atom;

— Tula: gingerbread cookies, samovars, and the skill of inventors.

The young participants will put stickers in the "traveler's passport", and in the end, they will receive an eco-friendly gift: a set of seeds of plants growing in the participating regions, to plant their "garden of the future" at home.

The quest is available in the format of a bright booklet, which can be obtained free of charge at the central information desk of the "Region-2030. The platform of the Future" exposition.

"Journey On a 2-3-2B Steam Locomotive" is an opportunity to embark on an exciting journey across Russia with your child, where every stop brings new knowledge and impressions. All details are on the website of the National Centre RUSSIA.
