About

An intensive workshop and encounter with nature for festival artists and audience guided by Saxony-based entomologist and biodiversity researcher about the central European biodiversity situation and citizen science as an approach for improving scientific literacy, pro-environmental behaviour and community engagement in non-scientists. In this theoretical and practical hands-on workshop participants will learn about decreasing insect diversity in both daytime and night time sessions, and how armies of non-scientists have for decades been supplying scientists with much needed data on European insects, birds and many others. In recent years they have been using apps to do so. 

Don’t miss this unique opportunity to get to know the nature of us. 

The workshop will take place in English.

With the support of the Czech-German Future Fund.
