About forty people took part in the national rotary dictation on Saturday afternoon as part of the fight against illiteracy.
The national rotary dictation, organized in Tarbes by the Rotary Club of Tarbes Bigorre, brought together around forty people in the amphitheater of the Crescendo business incubator. For this fifth year, Rotary has chosen the theme of the Olympic and Paralympic Games in Paris. A current topic, however, that gave candidates a hard time, with words and conjugations that are rarely used on a daily basis. So no mistakes (18 mistakes for the two best copies), but the participants were not unworthy. This national dictation, known for its difficulty in each edition, has its supporters (a word more or less correctly spelled by the participants) in Tarbes, where several candidates from previous years tried their luck again during this fifth edition. An opportunity for them to visit the Crescendo campus and discover the giant puzzle (the third largest in the world with its 42,000 pieces) created by the Crescendo FabLab team.
