4th Ecosave Workshop - Endangered Animals

 We held the fourth workshop where we informed and taught kids about endangered animals. Although this was a topic that was introduced earlier, kids showed a significant interest in the matter so we decided to highlight few more endangered animals that were under recent spotlight such as polar bear, panda, and local Korean dolphins called 'Sangkengyi'. Growing Sangkengyi was found caught in fishing net and marine authorities decided to take meausres to preserve the species.

Due to school-related reasons only limited number of children were able to attend the workshop. However, small gathering allowed us to have more personal conversation with kids and offered them the opportunity to capture in-depth knowledge in a quiet setting.

We started off by sharing presentations on new endangered animals. We talked about each  animal's characteristics, habitats, and why it was endangered. Later on, the kids got into small groups and created their own presentations on endangered animals just like the previous workshop. All of this was proceeded in a slower and more laid back manner since it was like a review session.
And the end, the kids presented the slides and the group with the best presentation was rewarded special prizes.  We wrapped up by giving out goody bags to everyone.

Even though many kids could not attend due to school matters, we believe this was another successful workshop where we got the chance to elaborate on the topic of endangered animals and refresh their past memory with the attened children.
