Universities are often perceived as inaccessible to a large segment of society. As part of the UniverlaCité initiative, which aims to bring the university experience to priority neighborhoods, students will develop science workshops designed for students in REP schools. 

The EU will offer students the opportunity to:

1- share their own experiences and apply the knowledge they have acquired at the university in order to best meet the needs of society.

2- Identify and develop skills in science communication through the design and production of educational materials tailored to the target audience.

The course will consist of tutorials and project monitoring (SPS) on predefined topics. The sociocultural situation in vulnerable urban areas will be addressed during the first tutorial. This first tutorial will also serve to lay the groundwork for the course, provide a detailed overview of the UniverlaCité program, and offer a broad introduction to science communication.

The following tutorials will serve as sessions during which students, divided into groups, will be asked to propose activities to be implemented. The constraints provided by the teaching team will be: the target audience, the theme (which will be defined by the teaching team and updated each year), and the requirement to propose “off-campus” activities.
