delavnica savsko_naselje_20120920A new school year began and with it a new series of workshops for primary schools. Since we already had a successful collaboration previous year, primary school Savsko naselje invited us also this year to perform a workshop for their fifthgraders. So on 20th September we had a workshop for two 5th grade classes. First we got familiar with the term "wetlands" and then went out to school yard, where children created their own wetland models. Buy testing models we learned about some, for us important, wetland functions. Back in the class we also learned about wetland biodiversity in we got to know the otter, as freshwater biodiversity ambassador. Photos from the workshop are available in the gallery.

Pupils of primary schools Grad and Kuzma visited us again
