The Educational Project Girls with Science@ULL<\/a> During the month of October, she will travel to the islands of La Gomera and Fuerteventura to carry out scientific outreach activities in different secondary and high school education centers, in which more than 200 schoolchildren and 8 researchers from the University of La Laguna participate.<\/p>\n

This project aims to reduce and prevent gender-based violence by fostering scientific and technological vocations among 3rd and 4th year ESO (Compulsory Secondary Education) and 1st year Bachillerato (Upper Secondary Education) students in schools across the Canary Islands. It does this by highlighting the achievements and contributions of women in research and technology, particularly those of researchers at the University of La Laguna. To achieve this, the project includes a program of inspirational talks and science workshops led by young female scientists.<\/p>\n

The program begins on the island of Fuerteventura, with two school interventions at the IES Santo Tom\u00e1s de Aquino and Colegio Sagrado Coraz\u00f3n schools. At the former, students in 4th year ESO A and B will have the opportunity to attend a talk given by the researcher. Beatriz Rodr\u00edguez Gald\u00f3n<\/a>, A graduate in food science and technology and a PhD in biology from the University of La Laguna, she will share her experience and knowledge in this presentation, aiming to motivate students to pursue scientific and biological careers. She will draw on her episode of the program "Todas con Cienci@ULL" to illustrate her points.<\/p>\n

Following the talk, around 60 students will receive a practical workshop led by the doctoral candidate. Katherine Garcia Livia<\/a>, A researcher at the Laboratory of Parasitic Fauna and Zoonoses at the University of La Laguna, will lead this workshop. It will focus on pathogens in our environment that can affect both wild and domestic animals, with particular attention to those found in the Canary Islands. This educational activity aims to raise awareness among young people about the risks and importance of research into diseases that can be transmitted between animals and humans.<\/p>\n

Sacred Heart School will be the next stop on the project's agenda, where a total of 90 students from the 3rd and 4th years of ESO (Compulsory Secondary Education) will participate in the activities. Researcher Beatriz Rodr\u00edguez Gald\u00f3n will repeat her presentation, offering her talk to the students, who will then participate in a workshop on the conservation of sea turtles in the Canary Islands, led by the researcher. Claudia Hurtado Pamp\u00edn<\/a>, A graduate in Biology and specializing in Marine Biology: Biodiversity and Conservation at the University of La Laguna, the workshop aims to raise awareness among students about the importance of protecting sea turtles, a keystone species in the marine ecosystems of the Canary Islands archipelago.<\/p>\n

La Gomera<\/strong><\/p>\n

Next week, the project will move to CEO Nereida D\u00edaz Abreu in San Sebasti\u00e1n de La Gomera. The researcher Mar\u00eda de la Pe\u00f1a Fabiani<\/a> She will be in charge of giving a talk aimed at 60 students in the 3rd and 4th years of ESO (Compulsory Secondary Education), in which she will share her educational and professional experience in the scientific field, promoting interest in science among young women.<\/p>\n

In addition, students will have the opportunity to participate in a workshop led by Celeste Santaella Garc\u00eda<\/a>, A doctoral candidate at the University of La Laguna and a professor in the Naval Construction Department, the workshop, entitled "The Ferry between Los Cristianos and San Sebasti\u00e1n de la Gomera," aims to introduce students to the maritime field, highlighting the importance of maritime transport in the region. Through practical activities, such as handling nautical charts and life jackets, the workshop seeks to spark young people's interest in the profession of Merchant Marine Officer.<\/p>\n

In November, the project will travel to the islands of Gran Canaria and Lanzarote, and in December to La Palma and El Hierro, where the following schools will participate: Enrique de Osso School, Lidia Pulido Secondary School in Arguinegu\u00edn, Luis Cobiera Cuevas Secondary School, and Garo\u00e9 Secondary School. A total of 603 students will participate in this initiative during 2024.<\/p>\n

This initiative is promoted by the University of La Laguna and the General Directorate of Youth of the Government of the Canary Islands, within the framework of the State Pact against Gender Violence, with the collaboration of the Cepsa Foundation Chair of Innovation and Ecological Transition and CajaSiete.<\/p>\n

The Girls with Science@ULL Educational Program is part of the Researchers at Schools activities package of MacaroNight 2024 (European Researchers' Night of Macaronesia). This project is an initiative promoted by La Palma Research Centre, Observatorio Do Mar Dos A\u00e7ores, Big Van Ci\u00e8ncia, the University of Madeira, and the General Foundation of the University of La Laguna. It is co-financed by the European Commission under the Marie Sk\u0142odowska-Curie Actions (MSCA), an initiative to promote scientific careers in Europe, which falls under Horizon Europe, the European Union's Framework Programme for Research and Innovation.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
