Pupils and students from the Greek college took part in the quiz and My Pushkin creative marathon of the Russian Center, which was held as part of the All-Greek Book Festival in the Balkans. The presentations Great Russian Writers to Children and Pushkin's Tales were shown to the young viewers. They especially liked the stories of Fyodor Dostoevsky for children, translated by students into Greek.

At the final session on June 24, the students of the Russian Center held a quiz among younger schoolchildren at the Greek College, the winners of which received books from Russian writers and magazines from the Russkiy Mir Foundation as a gift.

The Director of the Greek College E. Funda thanked the Russian Center for its many years of cooperation and popularization of the Russian language and culture. She noted that this is "particularly significant in the Year of the Russian Language and Literature in Greece." The chairman of the All-Greek Book Festival in the Balkans, H. Barbunakis, handed over to the Greek College textbooks on Russian as a foreign language called My first book.
