Complementary OPCW Education and Outreach Resources
In addition to the Joint IUPAC/OPCW Multiple Uses of Chemicals resources, the OPCW has published other resources, exploring the history and science behind chemical warfare agents:
· Fires is a documentary film series exploring the historical context for chemical weapon use, abuse, regulation, and prevention, while also investigating the motivations and inspirations for both the producers and monitors of chemical weapons. Find it at: www.thefiresproject.com
· Chemistry in Conflict is an educational module for high school students, designed to introduce students to chemical weapons, the Chemical Weapons Convention, and ethics in science. It provides both a rich context for educating in chemistry, and historical background to the production and regulation of chemical weapons. A diverse set of activities, case studies and exercises facilitate instructor implementation. Feedback is currently being incorporated into the resource, after which it will be made freely and publicly available. (See OPCW Today, Dec 2013 (same as ref.3), pp. 25-26.)
