Problem

According to EU & UN reports, migrant children are on average twice as likely to underachieve in science than their non-migrant peers.

It doesn’t have to be like this!

Solution

We connect children and scientists of the same migrant community by organizing science workshops in a shared heritage language

We do it to broaden the horizons of children, promote scientific literacy and higher education, and foster language development.

Unique Features

Key features of the workshops

Science Tapas

Children get to "taste" different fields of science and all fields are welcomed!

Integral learning

Children talk about science in their heritage language during the workshop.

Carousel Format

Children are divided into groups and interact with several scientists in a single workshop.
