The first Monday in October we celebrate the Children's day. For this special day Friends of Youth Association organizes Children's week, which was this year from 1^st till 6^th October 2012. IN this period there were numerous events for children. We celebrated this special week with  Friends of Youth Association Maribor that organized workshops and stands in Maribor. We presented our project Aquaviva twice. First on a workshop for primary school pupils on Mariborski otok (2^nd October 2012) and secondly with a stand in the centre of Maribor city (4^th October 2012).

During the workshop pupils got familiar with freshwater biodiversity, at least with few representatives. Later we divided pupils in two groups, competing between each other in crating food webs. Through this they learned about different roles organisms have in nature. At the end we made simple tests in order to check the chemical parameters of the water sample from Drava river. Photos from the workshop are available in the  gallery.

Two day later we had a stand at Trg svobode in Maribor. At our stand visitors could get a peep at freshwater biodiversity, get to know some representatives and take a part in our survey.
