Finalists of LVM Forest Olympics have been Selected
The second round of LVM Forest Olympics contest has come to an end. Ten teams have been selected to meet in the finals of the Olympics, which is to take place in LVM Nature Park in Tērvete on 26 April. Here the teams will compete for the main prize - a natural expedition abroad.
Already in autumn, students will head for an adventure in the nature to draw inspiration and create an exploratory outdoor learning game, the essence of which is to be explained in a video tutorial of no more than a minute. Out of the 15 works, which were chosen for the second round of the contest, the jury chose their favourites, while supporters voted for their favourite games on the “Izzini mežu, Latvija” (Learning about Forest, Latvia) Facebook page and on Youtube channel. Teams that got the greatest total score in Youtube and Facebook voting joined the five teams selected by the jury.

LVM Forest Olympics aims at promoting creative and healthy learning outdoors, as well as at raising school students' awareness of the Latvian largest renewable resource - wood. Already for the second year, school students were asked to create a new outdoor educational game and using natural materials to play it together with their classmates outdoors. They also had to make instructions so that students and teachers of other schools could play the game too.
