WHO ARE THESE ACTIVITIES FOR? |
|
| |
Around 15000 schoolchildren are involved each year with the Marineland Foundation’s educational project. The activities are adapted to each educational level: primary, secondary and A level. Children as young as 3 years old participate in the programme’s activities. These children carry out tasks with a specific animal, an activity that teachers call workshop or research project, and their parents also participate. After a few weeks of work at the school, children travel to Marineland where tutors provide them with answers to their task-related questions. |
