Workshop for families with children "in the volcano"

In addition to an interactive introduction to volcanology and rock science for budding volcanologists, this workshop will focus on individual accessible volcanoes and what they offer and what can be seen in them.

Here and in the following, the help and co-operation of the children is of decisive importance. We look for interesting stones and minerals, learn about their differences in colour, hardness and other properties and then know, for example, whether they are of volcanic origin. No question should remain unanswered.

This workshop is particularly suitable for families with children of school age and older. The parents accompany the children on their explorations in what is new and unfamiliar terrain for them. Sturdy shoes and (weather) appropriate clothing are recommended. Photographic equipment, a magnifying glass, a container for rock samples (possibly a geologist's hammer, safety goggles, protective gloves only for Emmelberg, Rockeskyller Kopf and Hahn) are useful.
