“Science Education for Active citizenship” is a publication on science education offers a 21st century vision
for science for society within the broader European agenda. This report is aimed primarily at science education
policy makers. It identifies the main issues involved in helping citizens to access scientific debate. It provides
guidance on how industry can contribute to science education; and it proposes a new framework for all types
of science education from formal, to non-formal and informal approaches.
Public engagement has already made a real difference in the governance and decision-making process of
Horizon 2020: providing a space for the citizen to tell us what works and what doesn’t, what’s important and
what’s not.
The report makes a substantive contribution to the policy debate within Europe on how best to equip citizens
with the skills they need for active participation in the processes that will shape everyone’s lives.
In 2007 – eight years ago- the Rocard report asked for renewing science education in Europe and advertised
inquiry based science education (IBSE) as the remedy for many problems we were facing in science education
those days. Several innovative education projects were launched and successfully implemented in many European
countries. Which lessons did we learn? Which questions do we still need to answer?

About the VISCED Poject:
The VISCED project carried out an inventory of innovative ICT-enhanced learning initiatives and major ‘e-mature’ secondary and post-secondary education providers for the 14-21 age group in Europe. This entailed a systematic review at international and national levels including a study into operational examples of fully virtual schools and colleges. The outputs of this work have been analysed and compared to identify relevant parameters and success factors for classifying and comparing these initiatives.

Presentation by Ellen Hazelkorn, Dublin Institute of Technology, Ireland, on the occasion of the EESC workshop on Universities for Europe (Brussels, 13 June 2014)

The role and place of universities in society are shifting and various initiatives seem to bridge the gap between science and citizens. The last couple of years a number of Open Science and Citizen Science Hubs have emerged in Europe including the U.K. But how can this be relevant for my library or institution? What are the successes and pitfalls? And what is the added value? In this breakout session three seasoned Open Science and Citizen Science entrepreneurs engage participants on how to get started.
Inspirational science teachers are at the heart of successful science teaching – ask any scientific Nobel prize-winner who had the greatest influence on their decision to become a scientist and invariably the answer will be – my Science Teacher! So what is it that makes a science teacher truly inspirational? That’s one of the conundrums we aim to unravel in the Inspiring Science Education project. That’s why we will be setting up workshops and exchanges, communities of practice and learning opportunities for science teachers and teacher trainers aimed at helping them find ways to make their teaching of science more inspirational.

OED Network brings together 17 organisations from 14 countries. Its aim is to tackle the need for outreach to disadvantaged groups, for the development of more diversity in adult education, and for the empowerment of its learners to become active European citizens.
What is on the agenda for the future for ICDE - International Council for Distance Education? Presented by the ICDE Secretary General Gard Titlestad in Moscow, Russia and Curitiba Brazil September - October 2014.
The topic nanotechnology is a well known
issue associated with discoveries of practical
application. Although it is not reflected
in national curricula, it can be an attractive
theme for students who see the result of
natural science research. Can you imagine
how small “nanoworld” is? How could we
vizualize it? Is it possible to touch nanoparticles?
The participants of the workshop
will get to know what is nano, they will play
a game on nano, see some demonstrations
on scanning probe microscopy (SPM) and
also see the tiniest film ever, “A boy and his
atom”. A presentation from Charles University.
Learning, and science education in particular, is full of mysteries and opportunities to provoke curiosity. So how can teachers scatter this emotional and cognitive itching powder to excite, rather than frustrate, their students? Discover some of the psychological and performance secrets used by magicians and street buskers to interest their audiences, and learn how educators can apply these techniques. Find out how inventing a toy, instead of doing his homework, made one student a fortune.
A presentation addressed to chemistry teachers from the University of Vienna to prepare a lesson about indicators using Inquiry Based Science Education and the 5E cycle.
What’s special about TEMI teaching? The TEMI teaching methodology comprises four main innovations: first the use of mysteries to capture the students imagination and motivation, second the 5E cycle to help pupils explore and evaluate their learning, third presentation skills to allow teachers to feel comfortable in presenting the classroom mysteries, and finally a method by which responsibility for learning is transferred gradually from teacher to student, so flipping the traditional session.
TEMI is a science education project addressed to secondary school teachers, funded by the European Commission under the Seventh Framework Programme (FP7), category Capacities, Science in Society, Coordination Action.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.
