Researchers' Day 2026
With a special STEAM construction set, children will create simple polygons, more complex Platonic solids, models of chemical and crystal structures, bridges and buildings in our engineering corner.

In this workshop, we will learn about the different ways seeds are dispersed.
Using call playback techniques helps researchers study animal behaviour, habitat size, and population trends. This approach contributes both to a better ecological understanding of species and to more…
The recognition and study of animal sounds are essential for understanding communication, behaviour, and ecology. By analysing call frequencies, researchers can identify specific patterns and extract vital information…
Thermal imaging cameras offer a means of studying animal behaviour, daily and nightly activity rhythms, and habitat use, particularly in areas that are otherwise difficult to access. The…
GPS tracking devices make it possible to follow the movements of animals in the wild. They provide valuable data on migration patterns, feeding grounds, and behavioural habits.
Careful observation in nature reveals footprints, droppings, feeding marks, scratches or rubs, hair, shed skins and feathers, paths, dens, and resting sites. These traces allow us to identify…
Participants will learn about the importance of circadian rhythms and how disruptions, such as light pollution, can affect the health and behaviour of both wildlife and humans.
We’ll find out how plants know when it’s time to grow and flower, and how they survive in the challenging mountain environment.
Life in the sea follows natural rhythms shaped by the tides, the cycle of day and night, and the phases of the Moon, and participants will discover these fascinating phenomena and their influence on marine life.
Creating all kinds of imaginative figures with pipe cleaners.
Exploring the rhythms of migratory animals, their causes and purposes, and the importance of scientific research in bird ecology, aimed at their conservation and the prevention of human threats
In this workshop, we will learn how researchers collect data on the distribution and migration of birds.
In the Rhythm of Pohorje’s Nature is an interactive experience where young participants explore the remarkable diversity of Pohorje’s ecosystems and discover the connections between plants, animals and their habitats. Through exploring natural cycles and ecological processes, they gain an understanding of how interdependent organisms contribute to the functioning, resilience and stability of the web of life.
The Rhythm of the Forest is an interactive experience where young participants explore the main tree and shrub species of Pohorje through play and discovery. They will learn about the forest life cycle, its natural rhythms and seasonal changes, and gain an understanding of the vital role forests play as one of the most important ecosystems for supporting biodiversity and human well-being.
The Ethnological Arts and Crafts Workshop is a free interactive activity where young participants explore natural rhythms and patterns, the cultural heritage of Pohorje, and the connections between nature, tradition and human creativity through creative activities and experiential learning.
Creating unique fashion pieces from old clothes.
We turn discarded materials into new, creative and sustainable creations
Some animals are capable of producing and emitting light, while others reflect and amplify it to improve their orientation in the environment. Studying these abilities provides insights into…
