The Open Day of the European Union funds at the European Centre of Geological Education 1300-WDOFE
The seminar is focused on the delivery of earlier acquired knowledge in geology and natural sciences to a general audience. It is conducted in form of short presentations, also with application of multimedia or educational models. Educational posters are made, which are later utilized during stationary and field courses. The presentations are focused on rocks and minerals. The presentations also discuss the application of various resources by man over the centuries, from prehistoric times till present, and possible application in the future. Earth’s history from its formation till present is shown, with influence of processes shaping particular continents in different geological epochs, and evolution of flora and fauna.
The lab includes individual work on simple experiments and painting on rocks.
