About the Mini-Safaris:
This summer, children and teenagers in Amsterdam-Noord are going on an adventure at De Ceuvel! In a fun and accessible way, they’ll discover just how much life is hiding in their own neighborhood.
During these Mini-Safaris (8 in total), they’ll explore the Ceuvel grounds together with a guide. You’ll search for everything that lives, crawls, flies, or grows between the pavement, piers, and plants — from snails and bees to water creatures, birds, and wild herbs.
Afterwards, you’re guaranteed to see the nature around you with fresh eyes.
About this safari: listening with your ears
There are more animals than people in Amsterdam. The only downside is that most of them are quite shy. These animals hide at night or fly away. Do you even know these animals, your fellow city dwellers? Birds have one big advantage for us humans: they sing and make all sorts of other sounds. Join us on a sound hunt at De Ceuvel. How many birds live there?
About the guide: Thomas
Thomas also happens to live in the Vogelbuurt and has a passion for birds, which he shares through his work in the school gardens.
