The lectures are aimed at children aged 8 to 12. They last around three quarters of an hour. Just like at a real university, the young students also receive a student ID card in which they can collect attendance stamps. If they collect as many stamps as possible, they will receive a children's academy diploma at the end of the semester.
All lectures in Görlitz are simultaneously translated for Polish children. The Görlitz Children's Academy is a joint event of the Zittau/Görlitz University of Applied Sciences and the Senckenberg Museum of Natural History in Görlitz. In Görlitz, the lectures alternate between the university and the Senckenberg Museum of Natural History Görlitz, while in Zittau they take place in the new lecture hall building on the university campus.
Parents are not permitted in the lecture hall during the lecture. Attendance is free of charge and at your own risk.
