At the Faculty of Natural Sciences and Mathematics, University of Banja Luka, the Educational Course for High School Teachers officially began on June 9, 2025, as part of the Erasmus+ partnership project ChemTeach, implemented by the University of Banja Luka.

This five-day event, held from June 9 to 13, brings together high school chemistry teachers and professionals from related fields, aiming to enhance teaching methods and strengthen international cooperation in education. The project is being implemented in collaboration with the Slovak University of Technology in Bratislava, which is also the project coordinator. Partners include secondary vocational chemistry schools from Bratislava and Pardubice, as well as three high schools from Banja Luka: the Gymnasium, Medical School, and School of Technology.

The second day of the course was dedicated to the popularization of chemistry through a series of thematically diverse lectures. The program began with a presentation by Prof. Dr. Peter Szolcsanyi from the Slovak University of Technology, titled “Homo olfactoricus”, which highlighted the role of scents in everyday life and the chemical processes behind them.

Following this, Prof. Dr. Ivan Španik, also from the Slovak University of Technology, delivered a lecture titled “Isotope Ratio Mass Spectrometry – Theory and Application”, presenting modern analytical methods and their application in chemistry.

Later in the program, Prof. Dr. Peter Szolcsanyi gave another lecture titled “Booze and Hangover”, which attracted particular interest from the participants.

The day concluded with a round table discussion on improving chemistry teaching, featuring contributions from high school teachers, university professors, and representatives from the industry. The discussion focused on sharing experiences and ideas that could contribute to the modernization and quality enhancement of chemistry education in high schools.

In the coming days, participants can expect a diverse program that includes educational lectures focused on popularizing chemistry through innovative methods and approaches, workshops and laboratory sessions offering practical training and the use of modern techniques in chemistry education, the creation of educational video tutorials for mastering digital tools and new formats of knowledge transfer, round table discussions with relevant stakeholders dedicated to improving chemistry teaching, and discussions on the role of artificial intelligence in modern education—providing insights into new technologies and their integration into the teaching process.

On the final day of the course, a project steering committee meeting is scheduled, dedicated to the preparation of a report on the activities and results achieved so far.

A detailed overview of the previous day’s program is available at the following link.

This is another in a series of events within the ChemTeach project, aimed at strengthening teaching capacities and modernizing chemistry education in high schools.

The organizers invite all interested teachers to join the course and take the opportunity to improve their competencies and teaching approaches through lectures, workshops, and the exchange of experiences. The agenda is available for viewing here.
