The Polish Fauna Garden runs an enormous range of educational programmes for children and young people. The scope of the programmes includes an  introduction to and protection of wildlife.

  • we organize live ecology lessons, during which students visit the zoological garden under the supervision of a teacher who tells them about the animals and their eating habits, lifestyles, and natural environment. The trip is later discussed in a classroom, where children and young people watch exhibits, interact with live animals and complete exercises.
  • we organize workshops for biology and ecology teachers
  • university students writing their Bachelor's and Master's theses, as well as school students working on their competition papers can get support from the zoological garden's staff, who provide them with information regarding the animals that live in the Zoo in Bydgoszcz
  • we organize pro-ecological competitions (e.g. painting, photography, miniature models) themed around animals and their environment
  • we organize educational meetings, such as zoological seminars
  • we organize thematic, seasonal and competition finals and exhibitions
  • we organize regular educational and entertainment fairs titled "Fauna-Luz" ("Cool Fauna")
