Science Week 2023
13.11.23
SCIENCE Week takes place
this week from the 12th to 19th November and the theme
for 2023 is ‘Human?’, which asks people to consider what
it means to be human in today’s world, and how the
decisions we make today will affect the people and world
of the future. From the climate emergency to social
interaction and artificial intelligence, how will future
generations be impacted.
Through the Programme of Events , it is hoped hope you
discover new knowledge that will help us all on planet
earth to live healthier, longer lives and adapt to
climate change. |
The online events will
teach children how we all need to embrace the muddiness
of our world to help the ecological wheels turn and
support all manner of wonderful wildlife. So far from
avoiding mud, peat, and similar ooze and goo, we must
protect and nurture our muddy world. They will also
discover the good news - the amazing anecdotes, case
studies and figures around the globe that are making a
difference. And they'll learn that if we all continue to
work together, things can only keep getting better and
better.
Belinda Glackin, Science Week Coordinator for Donegal
County Council Library Service, said: “Through our
events, we hope to draw children’s attention to the
important ideas about what scientists do by delivering
experiences that stimulate a child’s natural curiosity
and inquisitiveness. All primary schools in Donegal will
receive an electronic copy of our brochure. Although,
events take place during school hours, they are open to
home schools and the public."
