The year 2024 is going to witness the First History Olympiad for Foreigners, and the event stands every chance to prove a true celebration of science and cultural exchange. The topic we have chosen for the Olympiad is a period that belongs to one of the most fascinating pages of history — World War I.
From October 14 until November 29, 2024, 500 participants coming from different countries will be locking horns, each seeking to be the best one while recalling the most important dates and events of the said historical period. The stages of the Olympiad imply various formats: quizzes, discussions, historical quests, etc.
Each stage is a game of elimination, with only top-scoring teams advancing further.
