Workshops for students and pupils in centre Aqualutra

studenti-UM2011-1Every year 22nd April is the day to celebrate the Earth Day. Since this year 22nd April was Sunday, we performed our events already earlier in the week. On 18th April 2012 the centre in Goričko was visited by students of Ecology with Nature Conservation from University of Maribor. They wanted to learn more about our Life projects, centre Aqualutra and other activities of Lutra institute. 

On Friday 20th April 2012 we held a workshop for pupils of 4th and 5th grade of primary school Gornji Petrovci. The spend their nature school in our centre, where they got to know otter, the ambassador of freshwaters, and her relatives. We took a walk to nearby stream and Mayor's pond, where we were sampling freshwater organisms. We learned how do Amphipoda swim, what kind "houses" do caddiflies have and what kind of skin does  newt have. All the time we were accompanied by RTV Slovenia camera team.   The event was filmed for TV show Slovenian Magazine.
