Educational Activity

The \"International Flyway Games\", a 3 hour educational activity, offers a playful approach to migratory birds and the Wadden Sea ecosystem as stopping place on the East-Atlantic flyway. In the roles of both a wader chic and a junior researcher, the children experience the adventure of migration and discover the importance of undisturbed feeding and resting grounds along the flyway. Every participant receives a \"logbook\" of the journey to take home.

CORBIDI plans to join the celebrations for the World Migratory Bird Day by conducting bird conservation discussion sessions and a birdwatching field trip. The observation of wild birds in their natural habitat is not a common and well understood activity in Perú. As part of CORBIDI\'s mission statement, we intend to promote the study and appreciation of migratory (and resident) birds and their habitat, ultimately fostering their conservation. The field trip will have as participants a group of high-school students from Huamachuco, department of La Libertad, northern Perú.
