ristol ChemLabS Influences Outreach in Kyrgyzstan - 08/10/09
A performance of a version of the lecture demonstration 'A Pollutant's Tale' to an international audience in September 2008 inspired the development of a successful chemical show 'Greenhouse gases', which was delivered to educators, youths, eco-NGOs and the mass-media in Kyrgyzstan.
Evgeniia Postnova of the OSCE Centre in Bishkek, senior programme assistant on economic & environmental programmes, was one of the participants of the Climate Change seminar delivered by Dudley Shallcross and Tim Harrison at the National Science Learning Centre within the University of York as part of a week-long event organised by Prof John Holman.
Evegeniia said "I couldn't stop thinking about trying to organize something like this in Central Asia and after some preparations and close work with Institute of Chemistry of Kyrgyzstan we reached some results. A group of 20 scientists from different scientific Institutes also took part, as they wanted to see the 'interactive ways' of communication with broader public to practice it in their further work. "
The other countries participating in the event, sponsored by the British Council, were: China, Kazakhstan, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Uzbekistan, India, Afghanistan, Japan, Indonesia, Nigeria, Nepal, Singapore, Korea, Malaysia, Brazil, Mexico, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, South Africa, Armenia, Estonia, Hungary, Libya, Zimbabwe, Canada, France, Italy, Germany, USA, Portugal and Bulgaria.
