Educational programs
On the life of Marie Under, Artur Adson and the Tuglasʼ family at Nõmme. Literary and cultural-historical background. Short lecture and museum excursion.
“The Hedgehog” by Friedebert Tuglas
This educational programme is based on Friedebert Tuglas’s children’s story “Siil” (“The Hedgehog”) and integrates literature, Estonian language, history, and natural science. We begin with an overview of Tuglas’s life and a summary of the story, which serves as the basis for educational games.
Participants learn words used in the story that have fallen out of everyday use, as well as facts about the hedgehog’s eating habits. In the second part of the programme, we focus on the hedgehog as an animal and revisit the story from a new perspective. We also discuss how to behave around hedgehogs in real life, the threats they face today, and how to make a home garden as hedgehog-friendly as possible.
The programme is intended for grades 3–5, lasts approximately 45 minutes, and costs €2 per participant. Accompanying adults (teachers) are admitted free of charge.
The Writersʼ Garden – relations between literature and nature. Short lecture and excursion from spring until fall, with a longer stop at the museumʼs Nature Study Trail.
