On a discovery tour with the "Schlaufuchs": Erfurt Children's University starts a new round

New and exciting topics await the children: At the university, for example, they can find out what their chocolate bar has to do with the weather in a lecture on climate change and sustainability. The lecture "Your room is going green!" by Katy Wenzel is a very practical experience. Visitors will learn about houseplants. And if you've always wanted to know what monks do and what life is like in a monastery, Miriam Wien's lecture on Dominicans and Franciscans is just the thing for you. At the HELIOS Clinic, for example, participants can go on a discovery tour of the emergency centre, get to know the rescue service or learn about how blood travels through our bodies. And at Erfurt University of Applied Sciences, the Children's University participants will learn how sunrays are created, among other things. In another event, they will experience first-hand how urban planning works – and all digitally! Using their own avatar, they explore a virtual square in Erfurt and design it according to their own ideas.

The events are designed for children of different age groups and participation is free of charge. Detailed information on the individual events and registration can be found on the Children's University website at www.kinderuni-erfurt.de. If you want to make sure you don't miss out on any news, you can also sign up for the "Schlaufuchs" newsletter at lisa.wollenschlaeger@uni-erfurt.de. In addition to the current programme, you will also find information on the modalities of the Children's University. Children can take part either individually or with the whole school class. However, registration is required in all cases.
