PRESENTATION OF THE COURSE

The course/workshop focuses on proposing alternatives for teaching chemistry at any level (school or higher). This is relevant in a school population that is less and less interested in scientific careers and in university students, who, except for those who opted for Chemical Engineering or similar, are not interested because they consider it to be of little relevance to their future profession. It must be recognised that learning chemistry is not easy and that teaching it is not easy either, which is a first step. Therefore, it is in our hands to interest them and show the relevance of chemistry.
