Description
About the Program:
Experience the magic of an indigenous story and discover the journey of water first-hand! This weeklong program in Brno is led by experienced instructor Dana Klímová Hřívová, who brings ecology, creativity, and storytelling together through immersive English activities. Children will dive into the Lakota legend “The Secret of Rain,” becoming heroes on an adventure to bring rain back to the village while practicing English in real contexts.
