"LET’S EXPLORE, DISCOVER AND MAKE FRIENDS WITH SCIENCE"

Objective

"The proposed project envisages promotion of science among general population, school-children and adults alike. Primarily in Zagreb, as well as in three smaller urban communities. The awareness campaign will comprise emitting of 6 TV educational science shows (production of Croatian Television in cooperation with authors of this project) which portray science as a fun and challenging activity. Production of 6 additional educational shows is planned for spring-summer of 2011, also with participation of ProGEO-Croatia. Promotional activities will also comprise participation in several science-oriented radio shows on Croatian Radio (""Andromeda"", ""I like Platon"", etc.), local radio stations (Rab, Slavonski Brod, Split, Varaždin, Zagreb), promotional activities during Science Festival in several cities with nation-wide coverage in all major mass media, promotion in local newspapers, and promotion in the Geopark Rab infocentre. The proposed project encompasses: a) promotional activities related to recognition of researchers in society, b) activities related to the International Year of Chemistry, and c) science popularization activities such as science workshops, public lectures, exhibitions. One planned exhibition is ""Flavours of Science"" which was made for Researchers' Night in 2010, and the second is ""The Periodic Table of Elements"". Personal contact with researchers will be achieved during public lectures, discussions, demonstrations and social gathering at suitable facilities. The program will take place at two locations in Zagreb (Technical Museum and Shopping Mall), and in smaller towns Varaždin, Slavonski Brod and Rab. The science demonstration teams will prepare and conduct various workshops, demonstration, presentations and public lectures, some targeted specifically to children, other to general public. Most of the involved researchers are affiliated with the University of Zagreb, but significant workload will be shared also by student volunteers."
