The training course comprises 8 hours of lectures and demonstrations and 15 hours of hands-on workshops. The lectures and demonstrations will be held in an auditorium equipped with a data projector and a laptop, whereas the workshops will be carried out in a multimedia laboratory where each participant will have direct access to a PC in order to carry out the planned exercises. These sessions will be framed with field trips and hands-on outdoors activities that will regard innovative ways for creating links between schools, research centres and non-formal learning settings.
