A unique experience

Primary school Toermalijn (Olen) developed a theme day for all toddlers and students. Each class worked in advance on the solar eclipse theme. A bright sky on the day itself: there were no clouds, so all toddlers and pupils could all effectively go and watch the eclipse. In order to observe this natural phenomena safely, it is extremely important to protect the eyes properly. Eclipse glasses allow to look at the sun without damaging the eyes. As soon as everyone had the eclipse glasses on their nose, the spectacle could begin.

Aurubis Belgium supported the initiative: “This will undoubtedly provide these children and young people from Olen with a “Do you remember?” moment that they will remember years later. It stimulates the curiosity. And who knows, it may even lay the foundation for a scientific interest”, says Els Lievens, HR Director.
