Earlier this year, I took a flight to Brussels, Belgium, and visited Cefic’s headquarters to participate in an online discussion with children from 12 secondary schools across Europe.
The trip was part of the Xperimania project (click here for more information about my visit) - an initiative launched in the 27 EU member states in 2007 and coordinated by European Schoolnet on behalf of the Association of Petrochemicals Producers in Europe.
The aim is to help students in lower and secondary schools - from 10-20 years old - and their teachers understand the wide variety of applications of petrochemistry and increase their interest in the sector.
In the 2007-2008 school year, around 1,000 pupils participated in the scheme’s various activities including internet-based seminars and competitions. Some 50,000 students visited the web site.
For any questions about the project, its activities and competition send an email to xperimania@eun.org.
