The workshops aim to bring astronomical topics closer to the broadest range of participants. Inside Europark, there will be a workshop on making a simple solarograph, a device that allows for the long-term recording of the Sun's apparent path across the celestial sphere. On the upper parking lot of Europark, weather permitting, we will observe the Sun during the day…
The European Union introduces itself Information on the European Union and funding programmes, with a focus on research, education and researcher career development
Participants learn about critical thinking methods (from the field of media ecology) for understanding fake news production strategies. They learn to navigate among the abundance of information in the media environment and become aware of their own media self. Participants learn 1) the difference between information, misinformation and disinformation; 2) the effects of false information and why no one is…
As part of the activity "Wildlife detective: revealing the invisible wildlife around you", students and teachers will learn how to efficiently monitor biodiversity with innovative approaches, based on modern, genetic methods. These approaches enable the understanding and research of many important wildlife features (what they eat, what kind of environment they live in, are their populations stable in nature, whether…
Discussion on the importance of hand hygiene, when to wash hands, what to look out for; demonstration of how to wash and disinfect hands; examination of successfully cancerous hands with a handy teaching aid for the UV fluorescent test; showing a film on handwashing and the importance of clean hands.
The workshop will contain three movement challenges and some myths about our bodies. Sitting in a circle: each student sits on the other's knees to form a circle. If the pupils are in the proper order, they can sit on each other's knees while supporting the one in front of them. It is a mind game with the number of…
We will present children with age-appropriate information about groups of protein-rich, fatty, and carbohydrate-rich foods, as well as micronutrients and their primary dietary sources. They will learn about the general importance of these nutrients for health or primarily for the well-being and performance of children ("What is good for strong muscles/solid bones/to fight against sniffles/for good thinking of our brains?"…
Changes in pH can affect a variety of chemical processes, therefore accurate determination is important for understanding the properties of substances. Red cabbage contains large amounts of substances called anthocyanins. These are water-soluble dyes that change colour in different pH environments and for that reason red cabbage can be used as a natural pH indicator. Cabbage is also a good…
Participants will be given a short introductory lecture on the basics of kinesiology tapes and will learn more about their use in physiotherapy and their effects on a variety of pathologies. This will be followed by a practical demonstration of kinesiotaping techniques and a demonstration of the correct application of kinesiology tapes. Participants will have the opportunity to take part…
Demonstration of basic resuscitation and AED procedures using simulation manikins; visitors will have the opportunity to try out the role of a rescuer. Watch a short educational video on basic resuscitation procedures and the use of an automatic defibrillator. This is followed by small group work, where each individual tries their hand at approaching an injured/ill person and giving cardiac…
Basic information on human capabilities, their meaning and testing. Testing in movement challenges: a) Strength endurance challenge b) Balance challenge c) Hand-eye coordination challenge
The workshop will present how the brain analyses and combines information about food (from the senses, from the gastrointestinal tract and fat, and from memories) into a complex perception, flavour. Based on it we then decide, whether we ingest food, how much do we eat, and whether we like it. No machine can replace the analysis of our brain, so…
