RECETOX has been cooperating with high schools for a long time, both through its own events (excursions, seminars, workshops) and participation in events for the public organized by other entities (MjUNI, Bioskop, Researchers' Night, Brno Health Days and many other activities). We try to inform students and teachers about current scientific knowledge about the environment and also to motivate students to higher education in natural sciences (STEM).
For high scholl students and teachers, we offer:
- guided lab tour at RECETOX - usually including an introductory lecture and then a visit to the laboratories (program for 2 hours),
- specific lectures at high schools (especially for the third and fourth years of the South Moravian High School) - according to the teacher's choice (length of the lecture 45-90 min),
- student workshop „RECETOX hands on“ - takes place once a year for students of the 3rd and 4th years in the period from January to February,
- topics of high school scientific activities (so called SOČ).
We can offer you various lectures and seminars also in foreign languages, especially in English, but some also in German, French, Italian etc.
