As part of the Children’s University at Rhein-Waal University of Applied Sciences, the first lecture of the 2019/2020 winter term will focus on the theme ‘Experience. Discover. Explore’ – the 2020 State Garden Show.
The Green Classroom at the 2020 Kamp-Lintfort State Garden Show introduces children to, amongst other things, topical and exciting issues relating to environmental protection, climate change and species conservation. How do we treat our environment, and what exactly is this ‘climate’ that everyone’s talking about now? Why are we ‘rich’ in Germany? And why are other countries, such as those in Africa, so desperately poor? The engaging sessions in the Green Classroom focus on new knowledge, sustainability, fairness and justice. Irina Osthoff, project coordinator for the Kamp-Lintfort 2020 State Garden Show, will be discussing these topics and bringing the Green Classroom to the Children’s University.
The event will take place on 13 November 2019 from 5.15 pm to 6.00 pm at the Kamp-Lintfort campus of Rhein-Waal University of Applied Sciences, Friedrich-Heinrich-Allee 25, 47475 Kamp-Lintfort, in the Lecture Theatre Centre, Building 01, Audimax. Admission is free and no registration is required.
The Children’s University
Through the Children’s University, Rhein-Waal University of Applied Sciences offers children aged between eight and twelve the opportunity to develop a passion for the world of science through lectures (45 minutes) designed especially for them. Just like proper students, they are given student ID cards. They sit in lecture theatres and can ask the experts as many questions as they like. The big difference from a proper degree course is that there are no exams to sit.
Come and join in!
Children who are keen to study at the Children’s University can attend either all the lectures or just a few. The Children’s University’s course catalogue can be viewed on the Rhine-Waal University of Applied Sciences website at www.hochschule-rhein-waal.de/de/veranstaltungen/kinder-uni-0. No registration is required for the lectures. Admission is free.
