Setting up of an educational project UniverlaCité device

Universities are often perceived as inaccessible places for a large part of society. As part of the UniverlaCité program, which aims to bring the university to life in priority neighborhoods, the students will develop scientific workshops intended for a school audience in REP. 

The EU will offer students the opportunity to:

1- share their own experiences and enhance the value of their knowledge acquired at the University in order to respond as best as possible to the needs of the societal context.

2- to reveal and develop skills in terms of scientific communication through the elaboration and realization of pedagogical materials adapted to the concerned public.

The UE will take place in the form of TD and project follow-up (SPS) on previously defined themes. The socio-cultural situation of sensitive urban areas will be addressed during the first TD. This first TD will also serve to lay the foundations of the UE, to present in details the UniverlaCité device and to make a broad presentation of the scientific mediation.

The following tutorials will serve as sessions during which the students, divided into groups, will have to propose activities to be set up. The constraints that will be given to them by the teaching staff will be: the target public, the theme (which will be defined by the teaching staff and which will be renewed each year) and the need to propose activities 'outside the classroom'.

- Oral expression and level of language appropriate to the audience.

- Control of the duration of the interventions according to the level of the class.

- Popularization of science.

- Realization of scientific and pedagogical supports.

- Collaborative work.

- Respect of the rules in force in a school (hygiene, safety).

- Citizen empowerment.

- Autonomy of organization.

- Concepts on Priority Education and Priority Territories.

- Concepts of popular education.
