School Visits

 
Since our establishment in 1991, CEO Adi Roche has placed a huge emphasis on heightening awareness of the Chernobyl disaster among school students. Adi and CCPI representatives visit schools throughout Ireland to give presentations. This is an integral part of CCPI's Schools Programme.


During these presentations students will learn facts about Chernobyl, the main sequence of events leading up to the disaster, the Chernobyl disaster itself, what radiation is and the devastating effects the disaster has had on the people of Belarus. Also as part of the presentation we voice the benefits of using alternative sources of energy and we also explain the dangers of using nuclear power as an energy source.

Following these visits many of the schools undertake fundraising drives for CCPI and a large number of the students go on to become committed volunteers of the organisation. In addition, CCPI remains in close contact with hundreds of schools throughout Ireland, providing teachers and students with information packs and supplying other educational resources on the Chernobyl disaster.

If you would like a representative to visit your school, please contact nmcgregor@chernobyl-ireland.com or call 021-4312999.
