Workshops for Children—Czech Republic

Two 1-hour workshops carried in the group of up to 25 children each. The workshops will be based upon the book and manual for teachers prepared within the Project and will complement the Project from a practical side. Each workshop will be a pilot lesson that will consist of three parts: a) reading of a tale followed by a discussion with children, b) playing a game, c) art / craft project, experiment, etc. In the Czech Republic, one workshop will be devoted to Poland and its eco-solutions, the other to Slovakia. The workshops will be promoted through social media, website and local network of kindergartens. During the workshops information about financing from the Visegrad Fund will be delivered to the participants. This information will also be contained in the book which will be used during the sessions. It will also be included in related public promotional communication. In order to select two kindergartens to participate in the workshops, a small contest will be conducted in each country. The kindergartens that would like to take part in our workshops will need to write a brief explanation of what kind of eco-activities teachers accomplish with their children and why they would like to participate in the event. Based on the contest Lipka will select two Czech kindergartens, which are most eager to continue their eco-educational efforts and further develop their skills in this area.
