Lipka school facility for environmental education

Description
Rozmarýnek is the second oldest training facility of Lipka. It designs and implements natural science and environmental education programmes for primary and secondary schools, mostly outdoors and afternoon courses and camps, especially for kids. A lot of their activities are connected with animals. The unique garden with permaculture elements, which is open to all visitors also enables Rozmarýnek to run courses on permaculture for professional public, pedagogues and enthusiasts from afar. Jezírko is situated in Soběšice, a part of Brno. Its primary focus are one day and residential educational programmes for primary and secondary schools but is also a meeting place for children attending afternoon courses and camps on holidays and public events. The courses focus primarily on natural sciences, tourism and processing of natural materials. The facility’s employees participate in supervising bachelor and master’s theses of students and provide internships and observations.
