Unknown creatures - animals and life forms that no one has ever seen before or that have only just been discovered on a research excursion - this is the topic with which the KinderUniversität starts the autumn semester.
Biologist Prof. Dr Gerhard Zotz will take the children on a discovery tour on Wednesday, 21 August at 4.30 pm. During the lecture "We are not alone - How many living creatures are there on Earth?" in the Audimax of the Lecture Centre, they will learn that there is still much to discover in the depths of the oceans and high up in the treetops of jungle giants. Zotz explains to the eight to twelve-year-olds how biologists try to track down unknown life forms and why sometimes even a flying ship is used for this.
Tickets costing 2 euros are available from Nordwest Ticket GmbH on 0421/363636 and 01805/361136 (14 c/min.) as well as from NWZ offices. Admission to the lecture theatre centre on Uhlhornsweg is from 4.00 pm. Accompanying adults can follow the event as usual on a screen in the foyer of the building. The Malteser Hilfsdienst will provide security on site.
Anyone who would like to familiarise themselves with the topic of the lecture now has the opportunity to do so in the children's library at the PFL and all Oldenburg district libraries. Special book tables have been set up here.
The media partners of the KinderUniversität Oldenburg are the Nordwest-Zeitung, NDR 1 Niedersachsen and Radio Bremen Vier. The project is supported by Landessparkasse zu Oldenburg (LzO) as well as Nordmetall, the business association "Der Kleine Kreis e.V." and "Junge Öffentliche".
