Before coming to Liverpool I had completely different guess about what are Children's Universities in the United Kingdom than I have now. I thought it is a network of small groups organizing different kind of activities for children not exclusively connected with science but often including sports, drama, music or outdoor's events. Far out! Now I know that the UK-projects focus on very specific issues within their work with children and young people.

Last week we took part in a meetingthat was organized as a part of the project "Mentoring Partnerships" - The Study Visit - Children's University of Žilina and Children Age University of Olomouc. We attended a popularization acrivity in Olomouc (Czech Republic) - "Nature market 2009", where students took part in physical, chemical, mathematicaland biological experiments. You can see some video from this action on the webside: http://duef.uniza.sk/index.php?go=eucunet.
