the first European festival on creativity

2018 Programme

Event #50

Dino Ticli

Horrible plants and animals

workshop
ages 8-12
60 minutes
25 participants

A shivering adventure between science and legend: carnivorous flowers, killer plants, blood-breathing reptiles, strangling figues, electric fish, hell grass… After discovering these nature wanders, we will imitate the defence tecnique of the conus, a special mollusk, to build a tool we will use for an improvised battle.
