GIFT 2024 - Geoscience Information For Teachers
In 2024, the topic will be: 'The Changing Climate of our Planet’.
GIFT 2024 will propose lectures, hands-on activities and poster session for 80 teachers selected in Europe.
The main objective of the GIFT workshops is to spread first-hand scientific information to science teachers of secondary (and primary) schools, significantly shortening the time between discovery and textbook, and to provide the teachers with material that can be directly transported to the classroom. In addition, the full immersion of science teachers in a truly scientific context and the direct contact with world leading geoscientists are expected to stimulate curiosity towards scientific research that the teachers then transmit to their pupils.
Since 2003, The annual evaluation data and feedback from the teachers involved indicate the great success of this strategy for the teachers, their colleagues and their pupils.
