the first European festival on creativity

2023 Programme

Event #39

Willy Guasti

Soft-hearted animals... And more!

walkabout ages 8-15 – 60 minutes; 25 participants

 

Since the origins of life, animals have adapted to survive and reproduce by choosing strategies to care for their offspring. Some give birth to many offspring and leave them to their fate, while others have few babies but are caring parents. A special guide will accompany us on this walk to show us the strangest and most significant animal families in the world.
