The workshop entitled Let's Repopulate the Black Sea (ДА ЗАСЕЛИМ ОТНОВО ЧЕРНО МОРЕ) invites children to embark on a journey of discovery into the rich marine life of the Black Sea. The workshop combines science and art to introduce children to the biodiversity concept and the diverse marine species that call the Black Sea home.
The workshop consists of several segments designed to captivate young minds and foster a deeper connection with the marine environment.
During the first part, "Introduction to the Biodiversity of the Black Sea," children are immersed in a visual presentation showcasing the fascinating array of marine life inhabiting the Black Sea.
The excitement continues with the "Artistic Biodiversity Exploration" segment, where each child has a white glove and coloured markers. Through artistic expression, children choose a marine species that intrigues them and create their visual representation on the glove. This hands-on activity sparks creativity and encourages children to observe and appreciate the intricate details of various marine species.
The heart of the workshop lies in the "Group Activity - Black Sea Repopulation." As children don their art-adorned gloves, they step into the water and immerse themselves in a symbolic act of releasing their drawn marine species into the sea. This immersive experience forges a powerful emotional connection with the marine ecosystem, nurturing an understanding of the significance of preserving biodiversity.
Let's Repopulate the Black Sea is not merely a workshop; it's an inspiring journey that encourages children to become stewards of the environment through the harmonious blend of art, science, and imagination.
