🌍 Visit to Aglantzia Primary School – Earth Day

Today, April 21st, I had the pleasure of visiting Aglantzia Primary School as part of the European Researchers’ Night and the Earth Day.

Together with students from 5th and 6th grade, we explored how scientists observe our planet from space 🛰️ and discussed something that affects us all: the air we breathe.

We talked about air pollution, with a focus on Saharan dust 🌵 that frequently reaches Cyprus, and how science helps us monitor and predict these events to better protect ourselves.

The session was interactive, with questions and real-life examples, showing how even small daily choices can make a big difference for the environment.

💡 We highlighted simple actions such as:
✔️ using reusable bottles
✔️ reducing car use
✔️ recycling

The students’ curiosity and engagement were truly inspiring! 👏
The future of our planet is in their hands — and in ours.
