Duration: 4.5h

Description This programme takes students into the depths of the planet, exploring the different layers that make up the Earth's interior. Through practical activities and visual aids, participants learn more about the Earth's internal structure - crust, mantle and core - geodynamic processes and their connection to phenomena such as earthquakes, volcanoes and the drift of continents. With a scientific and applied approach, this programme helps students consolidate geology concepts and understand the dynamics of the planet we live on. A real exploration of the invisible world that underpins the surface we walk on!
