Espace Mendès France

Back

The Espace Mendès France - Poitiers owes its origin to researchers from the University of Poitiers, activists in popular education and popular education, who went, in the 1980s, to meet the inhabitants in the neighborhoods to discuss of scientific subjects and demonstrate, "manipulation" in support, that science could be accessible, even pleasing.

Both in the themes and in the words, it is the diversity that characterizes the activities of the center. In addition to the classic math, physics and chemistry, the temporary exhibitions cover a wide field: climate change, sustainable development, evolution, etc. The often playful scientific activities are aimed at the youngest… without forgetting the others!
