02-08-16 Education Ministry participates in science awareness conference

The Ministry of Education, Research and Religious Affairs on 24 July participated in the international 2016 EuroScience Open Forum (ESOF), in Manchester (Manchester Central Convention Complex), as a partner in the project “Make Science Real in Schools (MARCH), with the presentation “Making science real in schools”.

MARCH (MAke scienceReal in sCHools) is a network that aims to bring together institutions, NGO’s and educational establishments. It consists of nine partners that come from seven European countries: the UK, Greece, Germany, Serbia, Lithuania, Bulgaria and Portugal. The key objectives are, according to the MARCH website, “to help young people to actively contribute to the learning process, to argue in favour of the relevance of science to everyday life, to promote science as a force that can build up active citizens, and to highlight the relationship between science skills and future employability.”
