Description
The general objective of this work was to investigate the impact of nuclear information on young people's knowledge and attitudes by using different Methods/Participatory Tools in an Educational Programme. The investigation started with a baseline survey of six groups of youngsters, three each from Pitesti and Cernavoda, which was completed early in 2005. After analysing the results an Educational Programme was proposed and developed following the FP6- COWAM2 Annual Seminar at Ljubljana. The Programme was produced by November 2005 and three methods were selected: classical methods usually used for school teaching, the discovery method, and a method involving simulation of a Local Committee. Three groups from Pitesti and four from Cernavoda attended the Programme, which was followed by a new questionnaire-based measurement (May 2006). (authors)
