NANOYOU - Communicating Nanotechnology to European Youth
Program:
7th FP NMP 2008
Description:
NANOYOU will design and undertake a communication and outreach program in nanotechnology (NT) aimed at European youth. The project will reach 11-18 year olds through school programs to take place in at least 20 EU Member States and Associated States. Additional programs aimed at young adults aged 19-25 will be offered in
science centres.
While some FP6 programs have made an excellent start in informing the public about NT, they have not focused on youth nor have their activities taken place in the schools.
NANOYOU will combine temporary exhibitions, innovative computer games, experiments and other online content, with workshops aimed at promoting dialogue that will raise participants' awareness of ethical, legal and societal aspects of NT. NANOYOU's content will be balanced and up-to-date, and teacher training materials will be prepared to equip science teachers and other personnel to present the NANOYOU programs.
NANOYOU has assembled a strong consortium with partners experienced in nanotechnology, educational methodology and science communication, as well as organizations highly suited and experienced at arranging
outreach/communication activities in schools and science centres.
The ZSI will contribute firstly with an explorative research in 7 partner countries and secondly evaluate the outreach activities.
