Outdoor science playgrounds for Serbian schools

Classrooms without walls: nature labs in kindergarten and school yards

KidHub and Ekonaut launched Naučna igrališta (Science Playgrounds): an education programme that turns kindergarten and primary-school yards into outdoor learning landscapes. Raised beds, sensory paths, insect hotels, and hands-on experiments replace asphalt-only recreation with living classrooms for children aged four to twelve.

What you can do

• Educators and parents: support the crowdfunding campaign on Dobri Dabar to fund playgrounds in two kindergartens and two primary schools
• Schools with pilot sites in Belgrade: request a visit to see the Mali zeleni prsti (Little Green Fingers) methodology in action
• Municipalities: adapt the programme for your district, teacher training, curriculum guides, and built elements ship as a package

How it works

Teachers attend seminars, receive a practical handbook, and get mentoring while children learn through planting, biodiversity observation, and collaborative experiments in the yard.

Why it matters

Climate literacy grows best through touch, soil, and play. Outdoor science yards give every child a daily relationship with the living world.
