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 priority neighborhoods, students will develop science workshops for schoolchildren in priority education areas.
The EU will offer students the opportunity to:
1- share their own experiences and leverage the knowledge they have acquired at university in order to best meet the needs of society.
2- Reveal and develop scientific communication skills through the development and implementation of educational materials tailored to the target audience.
The EU will take the form of tutorials and project monitoring (SPS) on predefined topics. The socio-cultural situation of sensitive urban areas will be addressed during the first tutorial. This first tutorial will also serve to lay the foundations for the EU, present the UniverlaCité program in detail, and give a broad overview of scientific mediation.
The following tutorials will serve as sessions during which students, divided into groups, will be asked to propose activities to be implemented. The constraints imposed on them by the teaching team will be: the target audience, the theme (which will be defined by the teaching team and renewed each year), and the need to propose activities outside the school grounds.
