Take a Walk on the Science Side
Take a Walk on the Science Side: scientific eco-trekking in nature.
- Duration: 3–4 hours
- Difficulty: Low
- Participants: 10–30
- Seasonality: All year round!
A scientific trek for your corporate team-building experience.
Together, we turn a simple walk into an exciting scientific mission. With Take a Walk on the Science Side, we step into the shoes of researchers and immerse ourselves in nature like true scientists, as never before!
Here’s what awaits us:
- Exploration briefing: we will equip ourselves with the tools of true field scientists and learn together how to use citizen science apps, participatory science carried out by ordinary citizens who use technology as an ally in discovery.
- Trekking through the eyes of science: we will walk along safe trails, but every step will be an opportunity to observe. What secrets does that flower hide? What story does that stream tell?
- Open-air laboratory: we will make strategic stops to turn the environment into a real laboratory. We will analyse stream water, study air quality, and examine the soil beneath our feet.
- Biodiversity hunt: equipped with apps and curiosity, we will catalogue plants and animals. Every species we spot is a treasure for science!
- From observation to protection: we will conclude our exploration by reflecting on what we have learned. How can we protect these ecosystems? What concrete actions can we take?
