ESOF2010 has launched the Competition “What can science do for society?”, aimed to involve High Schools students and teachers and foster their participation in ESOF2010.
We encourage students to approach science in a creative way, asking them to produce a video clip focused on the role of science in contemporary society, under the coordination of their teachers.
Furthermore, the Competition aims at encouraging a multidisciplinary approach to the proposed themes, by requiring the joint participation of teachers of various disciplines (not exclusively scientific). This choice is in line with the institutional commitment that in recent years has brought about, at several levels (local, national and European), the activation of a set of policies aimed at fostering teaching innovation as an essential tool for achieving greater competitiveness in the economic field, starting from the Lisbon Agenda that recognises the strategic role of the development of education and training systems, defining the competencies to focus investment on. In addition to language skills, these competencies are in mathematics, science and technology.
The competition will take place in Italy and in Catalonia, thanks to the support of the FCRI - Fundació Catalana per a la Recerca i la Innovació , and the winners of both the National Competitions will be invited in Torino to attend ESOF2010, where the Award Ceremony will be take place. Other prizes will be provided by the Local Organisers.
ESOF2010 strongly encourage the dissemination of the Competition in other European areas: if you are interested in handling the Competition in your Country please contact Alessia Dino, dino@esof2010.org.
