The workshops are conducted in university’s laboratories, in the unique urban and natural environment, such as the district of the European Cultural Capital, the Mecsek mountains and the world famous Harkány Thermal Spa. The activities will be theoretical and practical as well, connected to the lab, recreational physical activity and joy as well.  Combining theories/lab equipments and leisure activities will lead to understand self and nature better. Students need to create projects that each of the participating leaders will give out (single or group projects, needed to be completed) from every topic discussed.
