Background
L’arbre des Connaissances
L’Arbre des Connaissances (ADC) is an association of researchers, established in 2004, dedicated to raising awareness about the world of science among middle and high school students. To achieve this mission, ADC has developed and implemented several nationwide programs, including:
- The Apprentice Researcher project which provides middle and high school students with a unique opportunity to immerse themselves in the world of research.
- The Play & Debate project which promotes innovative exchanges between scientists and citizens, addressing societal expectations and questions.
- The MAAD (Mechanisms of Alcohol and Drug Addictions Digital) project which aims atmaking addiction neuroscience research and evolving knowledge accessible to counter misinformation.
‘Jouer à Débattre (JAD)’ Program
Designed for young people aged 13 and above, the Play & Debate materials are available for free on the website www.jeudebat.com. These educational resources engage young individuals in debating science-society subjects through role-playing games, encouraging them to question and take an interest in sciences as citizens.
Each Play & Debate resource revolves around a science-society question and includes:
- A role-playing game that delves into complex and multidisciplinary issues.
- A guide for facilitators, such as teachers or librarians, interested in organising sessions.
- Additional resources for further exploration.
