🇬🇧 David Livingstone — the explorer who opened Africa to the world
David Livingstone (1813–1873) was one of the most famous explorers of the 19th century and a symbol of Victorian curiosity about the wider world. Today, on March 19, we celebrate his birthday and the remarkable journeys that made his name legendary 🌍
Born in the mill town of Blantyre, Livingstone grew up in a poor working-class family. As a child he worked long hours in a cotton mill but studied at night, driven by an intense desire to learn. Eventually he trained as both a doctor and a missionary, preparing to travel overseas and spread Christianity.
In 1841 he sailed to southern Africa as a missionary with the London Missionary Society. What began as religious work soon turned into decades of exploration. Livingstone became fascinated by the geography and cultures of the African interior, travelling thousands of kilometres through regions that were largely unknown to Europeans.
Here are some interesting facts about Livingstone, the explorer who:
🤩 became the first European to see and describe the spectacular waterfall he named Victoria Falls in 1855, calling it one of the most beautiful sights in Africa;
🤩 crossed large parts of the continent, becoming one of the first Europeans to travel from the Atlantic coast to the Indian Ocean;
🤩 campaigned strongly against the East African slave trade, believing exploration and legitimate trade could help end it;
🤩 became the subject of one of history’s most famous meetings when journalist Henry Morton Stanley finally found him in 1871, greeting him with the legendary line:
Livingstone spent much of his life traveling through central and southern Africa, mapping rivers and documenting landscapes, wildlife, and cultures. Although his expeditions were often dangerous and exhausting, he remained driven by a belief that exploration and humanitarian work could change the world.

🐻 Have you seen a small brown bear anywhere around here, possibly at Paddington Station?
This bear, created by Michael Bond, has captured the hearts of thousands (yours truly even has a plushie of him that would be taken to every English Olympiad final stage ) with his love for friends, family and, of course, marmalade.
📚 He first appeared in the book "A Bear Called Paddington." His story in England began when he arrived as a stowaway, having travelled all the way from Peru in a lifeboat. He was sent by his Aunt Lucy, who had gone to live in the Home for Retired Bears in Lima. He had a small suitcase and a label attached to his coat that simply read,
🤎 He was found by the Brown family (Mr. and Mrs. Brown and their two children, Judy and Jonathan) at the bustling Paddington Railway Station in London. They spotted him sitting on his suitcase near the lost and found. Taking pity on the small, polite bear, they decided to take him home for the night.
From this point, Paddington would go on to have a variety of amazing adventures and, dare I say, side quests with all his neighbours, friends and even enemies (although no one can really hate this bear).
Paddington not only became book-famous but now he’s also movie-famous! The Paddington movie trilogy has already garnered numerous awards, but the main award, of course, will always be the love of the audience.
Did you know… that Paddington became such a Briton that he celebrates two birthdays (just like Queen Elizabeth II): one on the 25th of June and the other the 25th of December.
Would you take care of this bear?
Press ❤️🔥 for "Yes!"

Наши преподаватели, как следует из названия нашей организации, действительно сами участвовали и побеждали в олимпиадах в свои школьные годы. Но не все мы — победители, призёры или даже участники заключительного этапа ВсОШ. Поэтому сейчас мы хотим поддержать тех, кто очень ждёт проходных баллов и переживает, и вспомнить истории наших преподавателей.
На своём опыте мы знаем, что любой результат — отличный! У всех нас замечательно складывается жизнь, студенческая и профессиональная карьера. Поэтому мы уверены, что и у вас всё будет хорошо — с диплом ВсОШ или без.
