Natural History Museum in Support of the Environmental Education

Natural History Museum in Support of the Environmental Education
Project of RIM - Burgas, funded by America for Bulgaria Foundation


This project is an attempt to awaken interest in environmental issues and environmental protection, by students of the technology era. The biology texts may seem monotonous and boring, if served without visual aids. This is a huge obstruction for the absorption of knowledge and drastically reduces the quality of education, which affects the students and limits the enrichment of their culture and knowledge. The team of Natural History exposition - Burgas has developed a methodology, which turns the exhibits examination in the museum into an exciting adventure, especially for younger children. For students with interests in biology it provides a basis and opportunity to deepen their knowledge, and why not to develop them into their future profession.
The project will be implemented in 4 stages:
• Advertising Campaign - publishing and distribution of a wall calendar and museum brochures in any biology study rooms at the Burgas schools. The calendar will contain information about important environmental events - Earth Day, Wetlands Day, Bird Day, etc.
• In early February, eco-club will open doors at the museum. Its main objective will be to raise children with an interest in biology and to provide access to current scientific environmental research. Meetings would be held once a week - mornings and afternoon. Lectures will be held on different biological topics in the form of modern multimedia presentation. The proximity of the museum to the sea garden will help in the early spring, the lectures to be accompanied with excursions to the nature.
• Next stage of the project is to conduct summer Zoo Academy - Adventure in the Museum. For five days the children are divided into two age groups - 14 and over 14 years. The little explorers will get acquainted with the Museum's collections and will be presented with rich biological information in the form of entertaining games with environmental thematic. On the last day of the Zoo Academy, each child will be awarded a diploma.
• An exhibition of materials produced by the children during the summer Zoo Academy will be organized in July.
