Science for Brazilian children at ICTA-UAB
ICTA-UAB is collaborating with the Consulate General of Brazil in Barcelona to launch the "Science for Brazilians" program, an initiative aimed at fostering the interest of children and young people in science and technology.
This initiative, promoted within the framework of the Innovation Diplomacy Program of the Brazilian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, will commence on Friday, July 21st, with a visit to the ICTA-UAB laboratories located on the UAB campus.
A group of Brazilian children, aged between 6 and 12, will have the opportunity to learn about the daily lives of Brazilian researchers at ICTA-UAB, visit the laboratories, observe coastal archaeological materials, and gain an understanding of the importance of preserving the oceans through sustainable practices. The goal is to promote the acquisition of diversified Portuguese vocabulary related to these topics among children in a fun and engaging manner, while also bringing Brazilian scientists closer to the local community.
During their visit, the children will have the chance to meet ICTA-UAB researchers Andre Carlo Colonese, Dannieli Herbst, Thiago Fossile, and Leopoldo Gerhardinger. This initiative is being promoted by the technological and commercial promotion sector of the Consulate General of Brazil in Barcelona, in collaboration with ICTA-UAB and the Instituto Guimarães Rosa Barcelona.
