Rosneft continues to implement a large -scale program to support the indigenous peoples of the North. With the participation of the “East Siberian Oil and Gas Company” (VSNK), the Siberian Federal University developed and presented the online course “Evenki Language and Culture”.

The educational program is primarily intended for schoolchildren from remote settlements and boarding schools of the Evenki municipal district of the Krasnoyarsk Territory. The course is designed not only to teach the basics of the Evenki language, but also to introduce students to the rich culture and the traditional life of the people, contributing to the preservation and popularization of a unique heritage.

The course consists of 18 interactive modules, it allows each student to master the material at an individual pace and with a personalized approach. The developers have provided a weekly monitoring system that allows you to quickly identify and eliminate possible knowledge gaps.

The effectiveness of the online program was checked in the Baykitsky secondary school, where scientists held a series of lessons, lectures and career guidance for students in grades 4-11. Already at the beginning of the school year, everyone will be able to begin the study of the Evenki language and culture.
