Description du projet
Rendre l’enseignement des sciences plus inclusif
La science est une composante indispensable des sociétés modernes. Toutefois, les stéréotypes sociaux et les pratiques discriminatoires affectant certaines communautés (personnes handicapées, minorités, immigrants, femmes) sont également présents dans ce domaine. C’est pourquoi, une approche inclusive de l’enseignement des sciences est nécessaire dans l’UE, qui abrite de nombreuses communautés vulnérables, afin de garantir leur pleine participation à la société. Pour cette raison, le projet C4S, financé par l’UE, entend mener des recherches sur les relations entre la science et la société en ciblant les communautés vulnérables afin de garantir leur visibilité et leur accès équitable à la science, et pour améliorer le socle de connaissances sur l’enseignement inclusif des sciences. Les activités d’enseignement des sciences seront organisées au sein de six centres locaux pour les enfants et leurs familles afin de promouvoir la sensibilisation à la science et les approches inclusives d’enseignement des sciences.
Objectif
AIM: Communities for Sciences (C4S) will be developed in 9 European cities (Milan -Italy-, Brussels -Belgium-, Manresa -Spain-, Vic – Spain-, Vienna -Austria-, Budapest -Hungary-, Sofia -Bulgaria-, Lund -Sweden- and Berlin -Germany) and their areas of influence. The activities that will be implemented will be coordinated by a local Hub in 6 cities with the leadership of one of these local partners of the Consortium. Each Hub will focus on a specific vulnerable community (immigrants, Roma community and disabled citizens) working with and for children and youth aged from 0-16 years old and their families. C4S will study the relationships between science and society by focusing upon vulnerable communities due to the fact that they are often not visible as active social agents. It is necessary not only to create activities for them, but also to include them as co-participants of these activities in order to ensure a more coherent approach towards inclusive education and to promote anticipatory policy-making. This will be done through science education activities, through formal and non-formal educational institutions, from an inclusive standpoint, to provide them with better science awareness and capacities and to make them progressively aware of exclusionary practices that at times may occur in science. Special emphasis will be put on engaging them in an intersectional approach to fight against the gender discrimination suffered by women and girls on multiple levels. In addition to this, each HUB will engage with policy-makers, educators and institutional representatives to promote their role in supporting and promoting an inclusive science education approach and to consolidate such inclusive practices on more solid grounds.
