Biologists – for biology teachers in Vilnius:
To improve the subject knowledge of biology teachers in Vilnius and to encourage the collaboration between Vilnius University and general education schools, lecturers from VU LSC developed a program called ‘Biologists – for biology teachers in Vilnius’, which consisted of 18 workshops (63 academic hours). The workshops were created in accordance with the new general education programme for biology. By participating in these workshops, teachers will enhance their theoretical knowledge and practical skills at the Didactics Center at VU LSC. These workshops are organised by ‘Edu Vilnius’ in collaboration with the Center for Natural Sciences.
