Passion for Knowledge is also focussed on awakening this passion in present and future citizens. For this reason, the program wants to emphasize on those activities directed to the educational community and, in the case of the Kutxaespacio Encounters, it is tailored to suit students and teachers of 4th year ESO (compulsory secondary education) and Bachillerato (optional high school level).
In this privileged place for popularizing science, namely the Kutxaespacio de la Ciencia (Sicience Museum in Donostia - San Sebastan), there will be two encounters joining Nobel prize winners, secondary students, and teachers, seeking to instill in the young students the Passion for Knowledge.
