Natura 2000 protects Europe’s most precious natural treasures. Through the ‘Move Your Paws’ programme for nurseries and families, children, teachers and parents explore natural habitats and get to know the animals that live there – all through playful activities and exercises.
They can get to know up to ten habitats and animal species that live there. The programme was developed by the DAPHNE Institute of Applied Ecology in collaboration with partners as part of the Príroda pre všetkých (Nature for All) project.
In the 2026/2027 school year, 110 nurseries across Slovakia are taking part in the programme.
The ‘Move Your Paws’ programme was developed by the DAPHNE Institute of Applied Ecology in collaboration with partners as part of the ‘Nature for All’ project (LIFE – IP NATURA 2000 SVK), which is supported by the EU under the LIFE Programme and from the state budget via the Ministry of the Environment of the Slovak Republic.
