« Our human societies today face considerable challenges, whether they concern our energy, water, food resources...
Addressing these questions with serenity requires an understanding of its scientific foundations, and this from a very young age and for all, whatever the background....and it is not so difficult!
Science is cheerful, accessible, easy when it's fun, which is offered by the Occitanie Regional Exposcience.
It involves meeting, exchanging and even playing in workshops as exploratory as open.
It would be a shame not to enjoy it... come many! »
