“So far, so long...” is a familiar phrase from childhood, to describe the arduous and eventful path of a main ch. A character goes so far and travels for so long that time and space transform, enchanting the traveller. But what are space and time really?

The content of the lesson is adapted for different ages. With junior pupils, we will discuss ways of measuring space and learn how to find our bearings in it. With pupils from grades 5th to the 8th, we will discuss how mathematics simplifies everyday life and how art works with it. With high school students, we will delve into philosophy and discuss how time and space influence our perception of the world, whether these categories are subjective or objective, and will also conduct experiments on the boundary of the visible.
The tour was prepared in accordance with the requirements of Federal state education standards and may supplement the curriculum in the following subjects: art history, “The World Around Us,” social studies, and mathematics.
