Zoopedagogue presents his work
Invitation to the press event: 12 July, 11 a.m., Chemnitz Zoo, Zoo School
Jan Klösters is the new zoo educator at Chemnitz Zoo. To explain what a zoo pedagogue does, Chemnitz Zoo is hosting a press event on Thursday 12 July at 11 a.m. in the zoo school.
The director of the zoo, Dr Anja Dube, and the zoo educator, Jan Klösters, will be available to answer questions.
Zoo education is knowledge transfer. Alongside research, species conservation and recreation, it is one of the core tasks of a scientifically managed zoo. Visitors learn about the diversity of the animal world and gain insights into biological and ecological relationships.
Jan Klösters, who has held the newly created position since April, has ten years of experience in the zoo education sector. Before moving to Chemnitz, he worked at Affenberg in Salem, ZOOM Erlebniswelt Gelsenkirchen and Dortmund Zoo.
His responsibilities include educational programmes for school classes and other educational institutions such as kindergartens and universities. Private groups, clubs and individuals can also book guided tours and other activities.
