RISBriefcase

Our game in the Sciences Fair of Gerena thanks to Cobre Las Cruces - First Quantum Minerals 😍

We presented the benefits of the traditional mining and how it contributes to the sustainable development of local communities.

Dear #RISBriefcase community, What an incredible six-year journey it has been! From The Briefcase to 3DBriefcase and finally RISBriefcase, we’ve had the honor of working with amazing partners, creating impactful thematic briefcases, and delivering inspiring workshops. Our last project, RISBriefcase, brought together incredible minds who shared their ideas, visions, and passion for change. Your support has meant everything to us! 💙 As a little »thank-you«, we’ve prepared a special video from our final project meeting in Banja Luka 🇧🇦. Dive into the highlights, final presentations, and heartfelt messages from our consortium. Don’t miss it! 🎥 Thank you for being part of this journey! 🙌 #risbriefcase #briefcase #EITRawMaterials #stemeducation #STEM

✨ Mining and Education: A Key Partnership for the Future ✨ The Fundacion Gómez Pardo had the honor of participating in the event "Stories of Women's Contribution to Industry and Mining in Andalusia", coordinated by #JuntadeAndalucía. Our #ProjectCoordinator Lidia Gullón Corral shared her experience in the Spanish mining sector, highlighting the crucial role of women in the industry and the challenges we still need to overcome to achieve greater equality. 💡 These events not only promote women's participation in mining but also help bring the sector closer to society and professionals from other industries. 📢 Along these lines, the #Briefcase project reinforces these actions through an innovative methodology that allows children to discover a surprising reality: everything around us comes from a mine. 🔍 Through interactive experiences, young learners not only understand the mineral-object relationship but also realize that mining is an excellent career path for their future. 🎮 Do you want to try our game and explore the world of minerals? 👉 www.thebriefcasegame.eu #SustainableMining #Education #Minerals #MiningIndustry #Equality #STEM #Briefcase

From the project, we are delighted 😀 to see how #miningeducation is experienced with such enthusiasm in the classrooms 🏫   The #BriefcaseWorkshop at CEIP Catalina de Palacios not only allowed children 🧒🏻 to learn about minerals, but also provided them with the opportunity to experiment practically and have fun with their own hands 🙌   Thanks to Minería es Más, SEPIOLSA, and Women In Mining and Industry Spain for their collaboration with the project and for making this possible 😊

🌍✨ Earth to Lab Workshop ✨🌊 The RISBriefcase team from Univerzitet u Banjoj Luci joined the Festival stvaralaštva (Festival of Creativity) at the Catholic School Centre in Banja Luka! 🎉 This year’s theme? The importance of water for life and Earth’s resources. 💧🌿 Their workshop aimed to: 🔬 Introduce high school students to the fascinating worlds of chemistry and #mineral science. 🌍 Promote sustainable mining and chemical industries that prioritize protecting water resources. 💡 Highlights: 👉 UNIBL’s team member Tatjana captivated students with a presentation on how mineral raw materials impact their daily lives in surprising ways. 🪨✨ 👉 UNIBL’s team member Nikolina wowed everyone with exciting chemical experiments using inorganic ores, sparking curiosity and creativity. 🧪🔥 👉 Best part? Students jumped in and got hands-on with the experiments themselves! 👩🔬🧑🔬 It was a day filled with learning, exploration, and inspiration. 🌟 #briefcase #risbriefcase #handsonlearning #rawmaterials #EITRawMaterials

🎉✨ "Mineral Chemistry for Beginners" Workshop Recap! ✨🎉 The Bosnian RISBriefcase team from the Univerzitet u Banjoj Luci hosted an amazing, all-day workshop at the Faculty of Natural Sciences and Mathematics in Banja Luka for over 100 enthusiastic pupils from Elementary School "Aleksa Šantić." 🏫✨ 🌟 Workshop Highlights: 🔬 Pupils explored the fascinating world of mining, minerals, and ores. 💡 They discovered how these natural treasures play a vital role as raw materials in the chemical industry and in our everyday lives. 🌍 Most importantly, they learned minerals aren't "just rocks" – they’re the secret ingredients behind almost everything we use or play with! The energy was incredible – the pupils were curious, engaged, and eager to learn. Many expressed an interest in revisiting the faculty, with some even dreaming up their own backyard mining projects! 🏞️⛏️ It’s safe to say this experience sparked a lifelong curiosity about nature and natural resources. 🌱🌟 👏 A big thank you to everyone who made this workshop a success! Here's to inspiring the next generation of scientists and explorers. 💙👩🔬👨🔬 #risbriefcase #briefcase #handsonlearning #EITRawMaterials

🍰 A year is like a puzzle - no matter how small or insignificant it may seem, each piece fits together to create a meaningful whole. 🤝 Together, we have created a wonderful Briefcase legacy, which has been and still will be fulfilling in something we believe in and cherish. It not only serves its purpose but also makes a difference in our perspective on mineral raw materials. 🎆 Happy New Year and Thank you for being a part of this amazing journey. #risbriefcase #briefcase #handsonlearning #STEM #rawmaterials #minerals #eitrawmater

👷🏻♀️ Jump over the Leather Skin 👷🏻♂️ Today, the partners of the #RISBriefcase project are attending one of the most important ceremonies for mining engineers in #Prijedor: the Jump over the Leather Skin ⚒️ This long-standing tradition dates back to a time when the jump symbolized proving one’s worth. Now, #Mining Engineers celebrates their graduation by jumping over it. Our project coordinator, Lidia Gullón Corral delivered an inspiring message to these new professionals 🗣️: 1️⃣ Continue learning and embrace travel opportunities. 2️⃣ Cultivate curiosity. 3️⃣ Be proactive and empathetic. 4️⃣ Develop a personal growth strategy. 5️⃣ Fail and rise again, again and again. A heartfelt thanks to our local partner, the #UNIBL, for this fantastic opportunity. 🎉 Congratulations to all graduates! We are excited to collaborate with you in the future 🤝 #MiningTraditions #EngineeringGraduation #Education #MiningForTheFuture #Collaboration

Everything comes to an end… or not? 💪🏻 Today, the #FinalMeeting of the #RISBriefcase project 💼 is taking place at the University of Banja Luka (Bosnia and Herzegovina). This project, cofunded by EIT RawMaterials has been an absolute success: ✔️ 12 #TaskPartners have joined forces, creating a network to raise awareness across Europe. ✔️ More than 100 #Briefcases in different formats have been developed to address the diverse needs of society. ✔️ Over 20,000 children have participated in our #Workshops over the past years. We are closing the project administratively, but the foundations have been laid to ensure the continuity of these impactful activities of this project. #Innovation #Education #Sustainability #Collaboration #MiningForTheFuture
