For biodiversity-related programmes, Fridays are recommended, as environmental specialists are involved in delivering the activities. 

Visits are funded for partner educational institutions within the project No. 4.2.2.1/1/25/I/001 “STEM and Civic Participation Activities for Broader Educational Experience and Career Choice”, implemented by the State Education Development Agency and supported by the European Social Fund Plus and the Latvian State.
