Tours
At CERN, I regularly give presentations for high-school students,
for the NNV, the Netherlands' Physical Society.
I also enjoy guiding tours at CERN - such a visit (by their readers) was described in New Scientist.
For the EU Creations project, I gave a primary school a virtual tour at CMS.
Other tips
Want to experience more particle physics? To see how our research is done, I recommend the movies
Naar het Hart van de Verbeelding (NL),
Particle Fever (EN), and Inside CERN (EN - I also make a small appearance).
If you want a book about how experimental particle physics is done behind-the-screens, read Anomaly!.

Miscellanea
In 2017, I co-organized the Open Day at Nikhef, summarized in this photo collage.
Pictures of the 2019 Open Day can be found FCC Week in Amsterdam, including a public event with speakers on gravitational waves and particle physics.
