The participants – asylum seekers admitted that it was their first time in the museum of natural history and the children didn’t hide their enthusiasm about the animals seen in the exhibition, including the hedgehog. Each participant had both the chance to meet and have a conversation with the author of the informative material “Hedgehog and His Friends" – Liene Valdmane, and to take part in creative workshop.
The material "Hedgehog and His Friends" includes general topics about Latvia, topics about school and school environment, designed specifically for the age groups of children. These topics include: I live in Latvia (about Latvia, the symbols of Latvia, history); we celebrate – the holidays in Latvia; the capital of Latvia – Riga; nature of Latvia, animals; national dishes; I prepare myself for school; I go to school; what to do after school – hobbies, interests; decency in the society etc.
