Native Scientist
Ethnic minority and migrant pupils face multiple challenges when arriving to a new country and are two times more likely to underachieve in school than their non-migrant peers.Native Scientist is a non-profit organisation that connects migrant pupils with scientists to broaden pupils' horizons and promote scientific literacy and higher education.
You will be acting as a role-model for pupils who speak English as an additional language. By talking about your studies/work in your mother tongue/heritage language, you'll be promoting the integrated learning of science and language, in an inspiring and interactive environment.
Time commitment
Each workshop lasts 90 minutes. To attend the training and prepare the content for the workshop, it's at least another 120 minutes. It's common that volunteer students/scientists dedicate a minimum of 4-5 hours.
