Description

The summer school organizes each day so that lectures prepare hands-on work: "In the morning, we usually propose lectures in which, by stimulating the active involvement, we give the necessary background for the following activities in laboratory." In the afternoon small mixed-school groups run laboratory activities, and in the evening sky observation or indoor problem solving is offered. Every group prepares a brief presentation of what it learned.
