Ciência Viva Clubs will be created in schools in the Algarve

The Operational Program of the Algarve – CRESC Algarve 2020 approved, at its last meeting, the applications submitted by groupings of schools for the constitution and operation of Clubs of Live Science in schools in the Algarve.

“The Clubs of Ciência Viva na Escolas, for their contribution to the valorization of knowledge in the scientific and technological areas, and of the experimental teaching of science, at all levels of education, constitute one of the privileged instruments in the promotion of school success”, refers to Algarve Regional Coordination and Development Commission, manager of POAlgarve.
