The first regional festival of geography "Uman Meridian" was held at Natural Science and Geography Department of Pavlo Tychyna Uman State Pedagogical University. This bright event was organized by Geography and Methodology of its Teaching Chair. The event's purpose was to popularize geography among pupils and students.

The festival program consisted of two stages. Pupils were able to demonstrate theirs erudition in the field of geography, ingenuity, creativity, teamwork, and leadership in the intellectual and entertaining game "Super Geo".

The participants were the following teams: "Green Group" team from Tsybulivka school, "Granit" team from Buky school. Uman district were represented by such teams: «Eco Kids» from Rodnykivka school, "Pershoprokhidtsi" from Polyanetske school, "Teenagers" from Ladyzhyn school, "Moreplavtsi" from Palanka school, and "Kompas" from Kochubiyivka school.

The contest was judged by a competent jury, composed of the lecturers of Geography and Methodology of its Teaching Chair: Professor Sergiy Polovka, associate professor Oleksiy Sytnyk, Iryna Kozynska and the students Svitlana Batsura and Oleksandr Maydanyuk.

Eight tasks were offered. All teams showed the proper training and demonstrated their love for geography. "Pershoprokhidtsi" team (Polyanetske school) won the contest (superviosrs Natalia Myronyuk and Tetiana Osipenko).

We hope that the geographic festival in USPU will become traditional, and its scope and number of participants will be expanded.
