Breathe the air!

Feeling a bit cooped up in your office? Want to share your interest in science and technology with others but your computer's heard it all before and your colleagues won't even listen anymore? Then here's the answer - come and get some fresh air with the Education and Communication Group. The Visits Service and the Press Office offer you the opportunity to come into contact with CERN visitors.

- Be a guide!
In becoming a guide you get the opportunity to introduce the Laboratory to vast array of visitors of all nationalities and ages and communicate to them your passion for science and technology. You can get involved as a CERN guide on various levels - giving presentations and tours of the Laboratory, but also leading a «Drôle de Physique» workshop and giving tours of Microcosm. Guides receive training.
If you're interested, take a look at the Guides Homepage where all the relevant information and formalities are explained:

- Face the press!
The Press Office offers you the chance to become an interviewee for journalists preparing articles on the Laboratory. If you can express yourself clearly and communicate your knowledge to a wide audience. If you are a scientist in one of CERN's fields of excellence (theory, experimental physics, technology or information technology), then you can apply. Meet the world's journalists and show them around your installations. The Press Office, in association with HR Division's Training and Development Group, will shortly be offering a training course on the media.
If you're interested, please send an e-mail to Renilde Vanden Broeck (Renilde.Vanden.Broeck@cern.ch), stating:
