The Canotca - School workshop
as part of the United Rivers of Romania program, the project generated:
Viorel Gheorghe
trainer of the Canotca-School workshop
The traditional boat construction workshop is designed by craftsman Viorel Gheorghe as a non-formal, experiential education method, through which children from Romanian villages and cities located near the waters become, for three weeks, real craftsmen, shaping the wood, finding out the basic rules of photography, applying notions of geometry, physics, economics, and ecology, etc., while practicing critical thinking and active civic spirit.
ABOUT
The platform is developed in the context of the United Rivers of Romania project – practical education for natural heritage, run by the Ivan Patzaichin – Mila 23 Association and the Department for Sustainable Development. The project draws citizens’ attention to the significance of water as a common global resource, recommends responsible behavior, strengthens, and activates a water community.
ONLINE LESSONS
The children who worked on the Piscu canotca are the protagonists of an educational video series. They were accompanied by teachers of mathematics, physics, geography, social education, and specialists in sustainable development, art, and computer-aided design. From the practical lessons at the workshop, we created an interdisciplinary teaching material, a series of open educational resources, available to students, teachers, and education specialists from all over the country.
