On the eve of the Mother Tongue Day on February 21, the Resource Language Center of Karelians, Veps and Finns of the Republic of Karelia launched an online contest for experts in Karelian, Veps and Finnish languages “Karelia is Us”

The contest is aimed at increasing the level of knowledge of Karelian, Veps and Finnish languages, as well as ethno-cultural competence among residents of the Republic of Karelia, promoting ethno-cultural development and attracting the interest of residents of the republic to the language, traditional culture of Karelians, Veps and Finns, expanding the scope of application of Karelian, Veps and Finnish languages.

The results of the competition will be announced in the organizer’s group on February 21, 2023.
