Teen Explorers with Alexey Shirshov

Meeting at 11:00 at Neoschool, Vazha-Pshavela St. 118 - there will be a safety lesson here, where we’ll review what we discussed earlier to reinforce the material for both new and returning participants, and practice helping those who can’t walk on their own.

Afterwards, we’ll head to explore the Petra Fortress and talk about the history of the Byzantine Empire and Georgia, which has preserved traces of invasions from almost every world empire.

This fortress is interesting because it was deliberately destroyed and abandoned by its builders. Quite modern. Every project, in line with sustainable development principles, should end with the recycling and reuse of materials left after its operation.

We’ll also take a look at works of contemporary Georgian art before entering.

After visiting Petra, we’ll climb around the interesting surroundings of the fortress by the coast, walk up to Pomorski's dacha, and then return to Batumi by minibus, around 18:00.
