Educational Institutions Invited to Apply for Summer Lessons at the Nature House

On June 7, the Science and Education Innovation Centre (ZIIC) of the Liepaja Municipal Education Department will start leading summer outdoor lessons for children aged 5 to 10. Lessons will take place on working days at the Nature House, Horse Island. It is possible to apply for June lessons from June 2. The number of places is limited.

In June, children will have the opportunity to participate in the lessons “Bird Researcher” and “Young Geographer”, during which they will go on an expedition around the Horse Island. In the “Bird Researcher” lesson, children will look into the world of birds, watch them, hear their voices and learn why a bird does not stay wet after a water bath?
