DESCRIPTION
Volcanoes Day is an important educational event of the UNESCO International Geopark Tara Hațegului aimed at explaining the importance of volcanoes and their role in the evolution of the Earth. Every year it is organised on 24 August, because on this date in 79 AD the Vesuvius volcano erupted, destroying the ancient cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum. But beneath the thick layer of lava and volcanic ash, archaeologists have managed to uncover and reconstruct important aspects of everyday life in the ancient world.
Through games and experiments, participants learn a lot of interesting information about the UNESCO Geopark, as well as about geology and biodiversity. Games, crafts, face painting, treasure hunts, lava volcano, painting workshops or dinosaur board games are some of the activities of the event.
