On Monday our coach Valdis Purins had live conversation with Latvian Radio, who together with 4 other Latvian climbers is now very close to climbing the 7134 meter high peak of Avicenna or Lenin's peak on the border of Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan. According to the plan, the team started climbing early this morning to catch the most favorable weather. ☀

Practicals is one of the leading developers of educational games and simulations in Baltic states. Games and simulations have been developed in the fields of business, education and psychology. Our goal is to make learning more exciting and dynamic. “Learning by doing” is a principle that we - Practicals - live by.
Through experience, we have realized that game is a great environment to practice skills that are necessary for work and everyday life as well. After switching to remote work, we came to a conclusion that practical skills of the same quality as well as the thrill of a competition can also be acquired online!
