Junior Cafes
Following the success of
colleagues in France, and our own pilot cafes in schools, we to taking
the cafe scientifique model to students in secondary schools. A similar format
will be used, but with a shorter talk, usually 10 minutes, and a shorter discussion,
around 20 minutes. The speaker will often come from a local university, but the
topics will be chosen by the pupils, who will organise, advertise and chair the
meeting, which will not be held in a classroom. The aim is to encourage an
informed debate around the issues in science which are changing our lives.
