EduTainment - Studying the future
The integration of pupils is a central aspect of the DiPol project as coming generations will be exceedingly affected by the impacts of climate change. In Oslo the Norwegian Geotechnical Institute closely cooperates with the Elvebakken upper secondary school. This cooperation is part of the work package on EduTainment, aiming (beside others) at a raise of public awareness on impacts of climate change on water quality. One of the results so far is an article designed and produced by the Elvebakken pupils.
