I
was at an Interactive Session on the occasion of the visit of the Caravane de
la Science at Swami Sivananda SSS. Through the interactive science
demonstrations, exhibits and film shows, this caravan attempts to explain
science concepts and their applications in daily life and encourage critical
thinking. An important aspect of
the Caravan is to show the practical importance of Science and Technology in
various sectors of the Mauritian economy and in daily life. I wish to thank the
management and staff of the Swami Sivananda SSS for hosting the event, the
Traffic Branch of the Mauritius Police Force, Fire Services, Ministry of
Environment and Mauritius Oceanography Institute for their participation. I would also like to make an appeal to the
rector and teachers as well as the parents to motivate our young students to
participate in such kind of activities.
