Learning Made Easy
Clearness makes learning easier. For this reason, the teachers of the Ratsgymnasium in Goslar, Jörg Zellmer and Franz-Josef Peter, used the offer of the Federal Office for Radiation Protection and visited INFO KONRAD together with their pupils. Subsequent to the introduction in Chemnitzer Straße 27 lasting one hour, they visited the mine.
On account of the information material issued by the Federal Office for Radiation Protection, the 39-year-old Jörg Zellmer got the idea – together with pupils from his chemistry class – to have a look at where the radioactive waste will be disposed of later on. Not only do the teachers want to communicate pure knowledge but it is also their aim to capacitate them to think critically. This, however, requires sufficient information. To Peter it is particularly important that the pupils see “that nuclear energy and radioactive waste management are a global problem".
The 19-year-old Daniel Hoffmann considered himself comprehensively informed after the presentation in INFO KONRAD. “I found it especially interesting that it had taken such a long time until Konrad was licensed to become a repository for radioactive waste. After all, it took two years.” Also Daniel’s schoolmate Julia Sophie Sachse was enthused of the visit to the information centre. “All our questions were answered in an open and honest manner”, 18-year-old Julia said.
