Nano Dialogue

Virtual dialogue     Cards     Role play     Workshops    

In this section, virtual dialogues, card games and role playing introduces you to the different existing views on nanotechnologies (NT) and inspires your own reflections on NT development, taking into account ethical, legal and social implications. You can discuss your opinion with your classmates and share them with other participants online.

NANOYOU also invites young adults to participate in workshops. For instance, a daily environment investigation activity asks users to identify and take pictures of devises and systems in the field of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) that use NT's in our daily environment. Another workshop invites participants to debate different scenarios on the future of nanoscience and nanotechnologies.

 
In addition to the tools developed by NANOYOU, you will also find resources from other Internet sites in this section.
