  1. EPOCA & EducationPhilippe Saugier, CarboSchools, PSIEP & MPI-BGCAndrea Volbers, CarboSchools & CARBOOCEAN, BCCR

  2. Vision • EPOCA scientists partner with secondary schools (using CarboSchools approaches & materials) • Results from school projects (experiments) are used in public aquaria towards the general public

  3. CarboSchools concept Partnerships between labs & secondary schools Project-based: scientists and teachers co-operate over several months (real-time experiments, site visits, debates etc.) Citizenship dimension - actions to reduce GHG emissions, European cooperation between schools Final output (article, exhibition…) to share results with parents, friends, community etc.

  4. One-day cruise with R/V Brattstrøm Students perform experiments on their own

  5. +++ Different aspects of a science projects; e.g. chemistry, mathematics, physics, biology, language, international cooperation (student exchange), etc. --- Acknowledgement / recognition / credit? (but an increasing trend)

  6. Initiated in 2004/5 by CarboEurope & CarboOcean • www.carboschools.org • Booklet «what we know, what we don’t know…» • TSP guide • Teacher-training project & modules (2009) • Enthusiastic network of scientists & teachers -> since January 2008, 1 M€ from FP7 Science in Society, for 3 years: European network of regional projects for school partnerships on climate change research

  7. Partners

  8. Expected impact Our EU project officer: “we are funding you because the ultimate impact we expect is that science is taught differently in schools” questioning and experimenting addressing a complex issue beyond disciplines discovering how researchers work, challenging stereotypes taking action on real challenges for society

  9. EPOCA: from schools to aquaria First phase: EPOCA scientists in CarboSchools projects – designing & testing hands-on activities Second phase: disseminating hands-on activities in public aquaria Background resources to explain acidification research 27k€ seed budget to reach deliverable 16.1, M18: « Educational package for adaptation and dissemination by interested aquaria » Discussion started with EUR-OCEANS network of aquaria (EU) and UNESCO-IOC (worldwide)

  10. What can you do ? • Tell us about your own experience & ideas • Try a CarboSchools project (local support in 12 EU regions) – have fun & learn a lot! • E-mail information list • Join our brain-storm Wednesday 17h30-18h30

  11. “We want to share our fascination for the planet. We will show that science can be thrilling and even fun, and is really worth studying.” (at least sometimes… !!!)
