NECC (Nature Education Community Center) started out in November 2017 as an initiative led by the students of the Faculty of Biology and Geology of BabeÈ™-Bolyai University from Cluj-Napoca and Macalik Kunigunda, university professor and founder of "The Wonders of a Thousand-Faced Nature - interactive playhouse". The main goal of this initiative is the shaping of mindsets and promotion of science through educational activities, in which learning by doing plays a key role.
A more informal introduction:
What is NECC? Ecology. Biology. Science and the spreading of seeds. Nature knowledge. Playing. Discovering. Trips. Hiking. Laying. Laughter. Education. Learning. Gazing. Fun with a little squirrel hunt. Falling, but enthralling.
