Workshops for Children—Poland

1-hour workshop carried in the group of up to 25 children each. The workshop will be based upon the book and manual for teachers prepared within the Project and will complement the Project from a practical side. The 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 Poland one workshop will be devoted to the Czech Republic 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. Workshop will be prepared and conducted by each project Partner separately—in Poland by CultureLab Foundation. Whenever necessary, Project Partners will hold consultations and cooperate closely, so that the format, content and impact of all workshops is uniform in all 3 countries. We treat this Project as a pilot, a starting point for possible future cooperation projects on a larger scale. As a result, some Project outputs—that is e-book and audiobook—will be publically available on the Internet, so children from all regions of Poland, Czech Republic and Slovakia (and also from other countries) will have access to them. However, as for the workshops, we have decided that we will limit the locations to Warsaw in Poland, Bratislava in Slovakia, Brno in the Czech Republic. The workshop will serve as a tool to reach the key goal of our Project, that is to make children more environmentally conscious. Through the workshops we will also help the children realise that environmental problems have cross-border dimension and that there are neighbouring countries with whom we share environmental responsibility and who introduce interesting solutions to eco-problems. With this we will also promote The Visegrad Group and financing from The Fund. The workshops will help us promote environment-related activities taken by our organisations.
