The Science4People Project, Scientific Dissemination in Palestine — •Barbara Capone — Department of Science, Università di Roma Tre, Italy

The Science4People project aims at empowering a group of young women in science in Palestine, who already set up an alternative education program in local schools. A team of young female students from Bethlehem University, supported by the group of scientists of Sunshine4Palestine, an NGO founded by physicists and engineers, set up a series of simple experiments that can be performed with everyday life material, on the themes of energy and water.

Kids living in critical conditions, often without access to electricity and water,are involved un the scientific dissemination project by being exposed to science through a ludic approach, thus learning how to manufacture a small battery with scrap material, how to build their own little lamp, but especially how science can be a path to undertake and solve everyday problems.

Starting from March 2017, the group of girls started its path going in different local public and private schools in Bethlehem from the most diversified social background, involving over 400 students aged 6 to 18.

As a joined effort between the European Physical Society, Sunshine4Palestine and ICTP the beginning of April will see 4 amongst the Science4People girs travel to the International Center for Theoretical Physics in Trieste where they will get a full FABLAB training by learning how to how to mount, use and program 3D printer that will then be installed at the University of Bethlehem .
