"Nachgefragt" - Science in dialogue with teachers
The aim of this event series is to enable teachers and students to meet with scientists—in person, in an accessible way, and on an equal footing. The series is guided by the goals of Education for Sustainable Development (ESD). The focus is not on ready-made answers, but rather on jointly exploring current scientific questions. Each school semester centers on a topical issue from the Bremen research landscape.
In this evening session, teachers get to know a researcher and a current research topic. In an open atmosphere, the focus is not only on the subject matter but also on how such topics can be discussed with young people.
