Autumn school of creativity

Cooking with elderly

So during the week I had my autumn school holydays. But most of students were resting during the holyday, but not me. I was animator at autumn school of creativity in your local youth center. This is a program that we do in every holydays. We include 25 children from age of 7 to 15 and its all free for them. This week the program lasted for three days.

Interesting experiment – making electricity with indoor bicycle

On first day the theme was generation gap and intercultural learning, so we took the kids to local home for elderly. There we had a travelogue about Peru, and after it they were doing together one traditional Peruvian food. After that we went back to youth center where they did one drawing made from sand, that’s glued to the paper.

Second day we went together to Maribor to house of experiments, where kids had three very interesting workshops. In one they were building wooden planes, and they were flying very well. In another they were calculating how many dices of sugar are in some drinks and other food that we eat. And in third one they were doing different experiments that were very well adjusted for children’s mind.


On Friday, so third day, we went on a two hour walk on the mountain of Slovenske Konjice, when we returned we had presentation on aikido, so everyone learned some basic moves of this sport. And after that we also prepared some chestnuts for them, to celebrate another successful creativity school.
