Overview of the project<\/h2>\n

Volcanoes take to the streets is a travelling exhibition open to the general public and free of charge, organised by the Volcanological Institute of the Canary Islands (INVOLCAN), which aims to bring the volcanic phenomenon and volcanic risk management closer to society.<\/p>\n

Thanks to this initiative, which has obtained the support of the CajaCanarias Foundation through its 2015 Call for Grants for Educational Projects, the aim is to inform and educate society about the volcanic phenomenon and volcanic risk management in the Canary Islands with the aim of contributing to the development of a community less vulnerable to volcanic risk.
\nThe travelling exhibition, which is intended to remain for a week in each of the municipalities it visits, consists of a series of informative and educational panels related to (a) historical volcanism in the Canary Islands, (b) the different dangers associated with volcanic phenomena, and (c) volcanic risk management in the Canary Islands. In addition to these 15 informative and educational panels, this travelling exhibition will also include an exhibition of volcanic rocks from the Canary Islands. <\/p>\n

During the exhibition, visitors will have access to educational material such as crossword puzzles and wordsearch puzzles, which are intended to contribute in a fun way to improving their knowledge of volcanic phenomena. Several documentaries on volcanology and volcanic eruptions will also be shown, including \u2018Tenegu\u00eda, el volc\u00e1n amable\u2019, co-produced by Centr\u00edfuga Producciones, RTVE and INVOLCAN. Within the framework of this initiative, the development of specific projects with the school community will also be promoted, the aim of which is to gain a better understanding of the perception that the residents of the municipality have of volcanic risk in the Canary Islands. <\/p>\n
