Explore the briefcase - learning about raw materials through non-conventional teaching toolsMezga, Kim ...We live in a material world where the markets are flooded with all kinds of products. At the same time , we are facing a population growth, as well as a product demand g rowth. But, are we aware of ... the raw materials needed for our favourite daily products? In which part of the world are they extracted? Do we recognize the value chains from the mine to the product? And, where do these products end up after we use them? Many school curriculums include this topic only briefly, thus there is a need to raise awareness among youngsters about mining and raw materials in general. EIT RawMaterials funded by the European Commission, is the largest community dealing with raw materials in Europe. One of its main objectives is to raise awareness among general public about the raw materials and their indispensability, about the consequences of their uses, about the mining and production systems as well as about the utili z a - tion and recycl ing. Innovative and attractive pathways are employed in the process. One of the projects bringing raw materials and mining closer to pupils is the BRIEFCASE project. Using non - conventional teaching methods, tools and guided workshops, the project provides pupils with a unique hands - on experience. It draws their attention to raw materials and their applications and helps pupils recogni z e minerals in products we use every day. Besides emphasizing the im - portance of minerals in our everyday life and addressing sensible issues like conflict minerals, the consequences of our purchase decisions, the sustainability of mining operations and their envi - ronmental implications are also presented.Source: Geologica Macedonica. - ISSN 0352-1206 (Vol. 33, iss. 2, dec. 2019, str. 159-166)Type of material - article, component part ; adult, seriousPublish date - 2019Language - englishCOBISS.SI-ID - 2503783
