The set of educational events across the Ukraine for protection and conservation of bats. During the next month we are planning an educational marathon for youth in five oblasts of Ukraine. Stakeholders of the project are represented by ukrainian scouts, National parks and comunnites. The main goals of the events are the debunking of myths about bats, negative reputation.

On Sunday, 25 August, together with Feldman Ecopark we invite you to join the outreach event “International Bat Night in Ukraine 2024,” where you can learn more about the fascinating world of bats. Alona Shulenko, bat specialist of the Ukrainian Bat Rehabilitation Centre will present multimedia presentation about bats. Visitors will have the rare opportunity to observe a live bat up close, listen to its ultrasound, and even watch it being fed insects.

On Sunday, 25th August, the State Museum of Natural History warmly invites visitors to join the outreach event "International Bat Night in Ukraine 2024." Just like last year, friends and colleagues from the Ukrainian Bat Rehabilitation Centre (Kharkiv city) will help you learn more about the fascinating world of bats. Soon, within the museum walls, you will be able to hear an engaging talk about bats from scientist and co-director of the Bat Rehabilitation Centre, Alona Prylutska.

Throughout the day, our young guests and their parents can enjoy activities in the cosy museum courtyard. These include bat-themed painting, puzzles, learning to fold origami in the shape of these nocturnal animals, trying on bat wings, receiving stickers, and interacting with real bat researchers. By attending the event, you will also have the rare opportunity to see this mysterious animal up close!
