Descripción del proyecto
Convertir la educación científica en más inclusiva
La ciencia es un componente clave de las sociedades modernas. Sin embargo, los estereotipos sociales y las prácticas discriminatorias que afectan a comunidades específicas (personas con discapacidad, minorías, inmigrantes, mujeres, etc.) también se reproducen en la ciencia. Por tanto, es necesario un método inclusivo de educación científica para la UE, hogar de numerosas comunidades vulnerables, que garantice una participación plena en la sociedad a todos sus miembros. El proyecto C4S, financiado con fondos europeos, se propone así investigar las relaciones entre ciencia y sociedad, y hará hincapié en las comunidades vulnerables con el objetivo de garantizar su visibilidad y el acceso equitativo a la ciencia, al mismo tiempo que mejorará la base de conocimientos sobre la educación científica inclusiva. Se organizarán actividades de educación científica en seis centros locales para que los niños y sus familias promuevan la concienciación científica y los enfoques de educación científica inclusiva.
Objetivo
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.
