| Abstract: | We live in a material world where the markets are flooded with all kinds of products. At the same time, we are facing a population growth, as well as a product demand growth. But, are we aware of the raw materials needed for our favourite daily products? In which part of the world are they extracted? Do we recognize the value chains from the mine to the product? And, where do these products end up after we use them? Many school curriculums include this topic only briefly, thus there is a need to raise awareness among youngsters about mining and raw materials in general. EIT RawMaterials funded by the European Commission, is the largest community dealing with raw materials in Europe. One of its main objectives is to raise awareness among general public about the raw materials and their indispensability, about the consequences of their uses, about the mining and production systems as well as about the utilization and recycling. Innovative and attractive pathways are employed in the process. One of the projects bringing raw materials and mining closer to pupils is the BRIEFCASE project. Using non - conventional teaching methods, tools and guided workshops, the project provides pupils with a unique hands - on experience. It draws their attention to raw materials and their applications and helps pupils recognize minerals in products we use every day. Besides emphasizing the importance of minerals in our everyday life and addressing sensible issues like conflict minerals, the consequences of our purchase decisions, the sustainability of mining operations and their environmental implications are also presented. |

| Note: | Projekt 3D BRIEFCASE, je bil izbran med 8 zgodb o uspehu v okviru NewHoRRIzon, kot primer odgovornih raziskav in inovacij (RRI) znotraj programa EIT, osredotočenega na etično dimenzijo. Etika je namenjena predvsem spoštovanju temeljnih pravic in etičnih standardov pri raziskavah in inovacijah, pa tudi vprašanju, kakšne so potencialne dolgoročne posledice projekta in kako lahko pozitivno prispevamo k družbi. Projekt 3D Briefcase prispeva k temu, z ozaveščanjem učencev glede prepoznavanja mineralov, ki jih uporabljajo v vsakdanjem življenju in jih spodbuja k razmisleku o vprašanjih, kot so konfliktni minerali, posledice odločitev o nakupu, trajnost rudarskih dejavnosti ter pomen recikliranja in podnebnih sprememb.;
The 3D Briefcase project has been selected by the Social Lab 16 working group of the NewHoRRIzon Project as an example of Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI) Project inside the EIT program focused in Ethic dimension. Ethics is specifically about respecting fundamental rights and ethical standards in research an innovation, but also about asking what are potential long-term consequences of my project and how can I positively contribute to the society. 3D Briefcase Project contributes to the society teaching pupils to identify minerals they use in their everyday life and encourage them to reflect on issues like the conflict minerals, the consequences of purchase decisions, the sustainability of mining operations, and the importance of recycling and climate change.;
