"SCIENCE ON STAGE"
INTERNATIONAL EXPRESSIONS OF THE FESTIVAL
Three main european research organizations in 2000 offerred a wide range program, that was designed for teachers of Physics - "Physics on Stage." The main goal is giving an opportunity to teachers from schools and Universities to act in national and international acts for exchange of didactic materials. The final festival was in November 2000 in CERN, near Geneva, Switzerland. The other two festivals - "Physics on Stage 2" in 2000 and "Physics on Stage 3" in 2003 were situated in Nordwajik, Holland.
The decision of the International organizing committee is teachers of Biology and Chemistry to be included in the festival with a goal to strengthen the interes and to overcome the decrease of intereset among the young people in the natual sciences. In November 2005 again in CERN was situated the final festival "Science on Stage 1". In it act people from 29 european countries, in this number and Bulgaria.

Because "on stage" even traditionally strong in the work with student centers, appeared and new "players", from which students we are waiting good results in their acting in this exciting game, called SCIENCE.
