Through specially designed educational activities and with the help of educational material, children become scientists, become familiar with research methods and discover information about fossils, rocks, sea and land geoforms, the great biodiversity of the island of Nissiopi and the gulf of Sigri. They examine closely evidence of climate change but also evidence that proves the rich geological history of Lesvos and the Aegean.

An innovation of the educational program is the great experiential experience during the sea tour with the special glass bottomed boat in Nissiopi and the gulf of Sigri as well as the tour in the land part of the Park, where the children discover the new elements of the geological and natural heritage of Nissiopi.

The program includes:

• Discussion about the environment of significant geological value of the island of Nissiopi, its importance and the information it gives us.

• Discussion about the forest’s environment and how it was fossilized through volcanic eruptions.

• Use of scientific equipment used in geological research and environmental observations (maps, compass, binoculars, etc.).

• Discussion about the plant fossils, the volcanic rocks and the geoforms of the island of Nissiopi.

• Participation in activities for the identification and recording of plant fossils, volcanic rocks, terrestrial and marine geoforms.

• Participation in excavation of fossils or conservation work.

• Discussion on the special but also rare and protected species of the marine and terrestrial biodiversity of Nissiopi.

• Participation in activities of observation and identification of the bird fauna, recording of proposals for the protection of the endangered species.

• Recording the findings in the special educational cards.

• Composition of observations, extraction and presentation of conclusions
