Conference on science outreach

We’re delighted to invite you to two training courses on science popularization given by Jean-Daniel Doucet, science vulgarisateur.

How can you offer compelling presentations, break the ice with your audience, and reach your target audience? Practice makes perfect! Always in action, JD will share his tips and tools for popularizing science with young people, whether in the classroom or at a kiosk. We’ll cover the main stages of animation, from warm-up and contact with visitors to the question period. Everything you need to give 100%!
