IDEA holds first laboratory training session of 2016
The Ecological Laboratory for Children, a joint project successfully carried out in 2015 by IDEA Public Union and “Sevimli Bala”, held its first laboratory training session of the year at the Resource Center located at the Academy of Public Administration under the Azerbaijani President.
The January session of the laboratory, which aimed at increasing the knowledge of children about the environment and wildlife, was held on “The Polar Circle and its Nature”.
Children were informed about snow, ice and their characteristics, as well as polar animals, geography of Antarctica and other topics. Also, the young ecologists discovered how ice and snowflakes are formed, and studied dry ice through experiments.
During the training session, the participants have engaged in several lab experiments and created little “works of art” by using various materials.
Besides offering an interesting and fun day for kids, the January session contributed to children’s understanding from an early age of environmental processes and their significance.
IDEA launched by the Vice-President of the Heydar Aliyev Foundation Leyla Aliyeva in 2011 is aimed at promoting public awareness of environmental issues and action, collaboration with youth, education in the field of environmental problems and finding proper solutions for them.
