Children's educational workshops

FOR CHILDREN AGED 5–10

In the Boathouse

During August and September, the Brijuni National Park is organising educational workshops for hotel guests with a view to improving knowledge on the natural and cultural values of the Park.

The children’s workshops focus on developing their knowledge of environmental protection in a fun and creative way. The participants have access to a reading corner with picture books and encyclopaedias, while the content and the materials (for making prints in clay, origami, insect models, animal aiding tools...) in the creative corner change every day and with an educator’s assistance, children can solve age-appropriate worksheets that match their prior knowledge. The educator will also take them on a thematic sightseeing of the Boathouse, where they can get directly acquainted with the values of the Brijuni National Park.

Apart from broadening their knowledge, the participants will also have access to various board games (Memory, Uno, Dominoes, puzzles, Mikado...) and thematically selected colouring books. For children who are quick to master new concepts and are high-energy, we have also prepared some sports and competitive games.

The workshops are held by Iva Vukalović, a fourth-year student of the Faculty of Educational Sciences at the University of Pula, in cooperation with the educators and the employees of the Department of Professional Affairs of the Brijuni National Park.

The workshops are primarily held in Croatian, but considering how broad the offer is, speakers of other languages are also welcome.

Workshop topics

The topics of the workshops change daily, so even if your visit to the park is longer, we have ensured that your little ones never have a dull moment with us!
