The activities conducted every Saturday at the Children and Youth Academy guarantee all the participants a great atmosphere, learning through play, creative workshops, preparation for the baccalaureate examination and during vacation \u2013 time actively spent at the children and youth camp.<\/p>\n

The purpose of the project is to satisfy the cognitive curiosity, scientific interests and to develop the passions and talents of children and youth and encouraging them to explore the world and learn various fields of science. The activities are held at Prof. Zbigniew Religa Faculty of Medical Sciences and are conducted by didactic teachers, experts and specialists in various fields. Children and youth participate in the activities conducted in lecture theaters, workshop rooms and laboratories so that they can feel as if they were students.<\/p>\n

The Children and Youth Academy began its activity in September, 2022 as a project performed by the City of Zabrze and the Academy of Silesia (former Silesian School of Technology in Katowice). The project is co-funded by the Norwegian Financial Mechanism 2014-2021 and the participation in all the activities is free of charge.<\/p>\n

\u2013 An important aspect we put a great stress on within the Norwegian funding is to encourage the young people to learn and explore the local potential \u2013 thanks to the Academy we want to show that Zabrze is a place to be seriously taken into the consideration while choosing the way of life and professional career \u2013 comments the President of Zabrze, Ms. Ma\u0142gorzata Ma\u0144ka-Szulik.<\/p>\n

Last Saturday the first workshops for youth started within the Children and Youth Academy. The humanities group had the first conversations in English in a small circle, while the group of \u201cscientific minds\u201d in the biological lab observed the microorganisms hidden from human eye.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
