On YOUCA Action Day, EFAR welcomed two secondary school students for a day of hands-on experience in scientific research.
Every year, YOUCA (Youth for Change and Action) organises this day on which more than 15,000 young people from Flanders and Brussels spend a day working at a company, organisation or public institution. The wages they earn are donated to youth projects around the world.
This year’s theme, Voor geen geld ter wereld, invites young people to reflect on how we can build a fairer economy that respects both people and the planet.
At EFAR, we were delighted to welcome Syrine from Atheneum Vijverbeek Asse and Suzanne from Lyceum Aalst. They got a first taste of scientific research and discovered what research looks like in practice.
