In the Open Space we will simulate an attempt of the interpretation of the environment along the river Iška in the Ljubljana moors nature park: from presenting the geomorphological characteristics and diversity of the river basin, the role and importance of subterrainian and surface water, to the relation water – man in the past and today. The interpretation of the river Iška has been designed with an interesting educational path, with the possibility of upgrading it with entertaining e-lessons and interesting fieldwork tasks for students, which can be created by teachers on a web portal. E-lessons are prepared for three age groups (according to the syllabi) with guidelines for teachers added.

The participants will be able to do the research with the help of a web application for fieldwork tasks called “Barjanska banka” that are a great starting point for the fieldwork (more than 50 tasks for the three age groups of students), and which are primarily intended for teachers.
