In the educational program ‘’Volcanoes and volcanic eruptions in Lesvos’’, the children are invited to travel millions of years ago to the geological past of Lesvos, of the Aegean and of Greece and to become familiar with phenomena and processes that cannot be directly observed, such as the volcanic phenomenon.
